Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: At a federally funded clinic, abortions can be provided legally if under United States laws.
Rationale 2: Abortion can be performed legally until the period of viability; after viability, the rights of the fetus take precedence.
Rationale 3: Abortion cannot be used to provide tissue for therapeutic research.
Rationale 4: At a military hospital overseas, abortions can be provided legally if under United States laws.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Cost containment and managed care are the driving forces behind some changes in care compared to a generation ago, not physician preference.
Rationale 2: Always address a patient's questions and avoid saying don't worry about it to keep communication therapeutic.
Rationale 3: Evidence-based practice is the use of research findings to guide nursing actions, policies, and procedures. Often research findings contradict care that used to be the norm, leading to changes in policies and procedures.
Rationale 4: Although laxatives are low-cost medications, there is no evidence indicating that all patients should receive them after childbirth. The evidence indicates that bowel function slows slightly after birth and normally resumes in a few days.
