Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Knee-high stockings interfere with circulation, leading to edema and increasing the risk of blood clots forming in the legs. Soap should not be used to wash the nipples. Douching is not recommended, unless ordered by the care provider for treatment of a vaginal infection. Douching may actually introduce infection. A soft toothbrush is used because the gums are soft and bleed more easily.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The accepted weight gain is 3 to 4 lbs per month in the first trimester, then 1 lb per week for a total of 25 to 35 lbs.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
