Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In early gestational hypertension, if the woman is well informed and able to carry out the medical and nursing instructions (e.g., report headaches, visual disturbances, epigastric pain), management may be provided on an outpatient basis. Daily weights and fetal kick counts are appropriate home care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Clinical manifestations of withdrawal in a neonate reflect autonomic nervous system hyperirritability, including tremor; restlessness; sneezing; hyperactive reflexes; and a high-pitched, shrill cry. Plethora is typically associated with maternal diabetes. Jaundice is a common finding with hyperbilirubinemia. Seedy, yellow-brown stools are normal for a neonate.
