Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The infant may acquire the organism during vaginal birth. Cesarean delivery is done to prevent the newborn from acquiring a potentially lethal herpes virus during vaginal delivery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
During menopause, decreased estrogen levels increase risk for osteoporosis. Preventive measures include increasing dietary calcium or using calcium supplements. High doses of potassium and sodium are not recommended because of the potential for edema or cardiac arrhythmias. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium.
