Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A GCT is administered between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation, often to low- and high-risk antepartum patients. Fasting is not necessary for a GCT, and the woman is not required to follow any pretest dietary instructions. The woman should ingest 50 g of oral glucose solution, and 1 hour later a blood sample is taken. Fetal surveillance with kick counts is an ongoing evaluation for pregnant women; they should contact their health care provider if there is a noticeable decrease in fetal movement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Breast milk or prechewed food from an infected person can cause infant infection, so the patient with AIDS should bottle feed her baby. The infant does not require additional bathing. The patient has AIDS and transmission from the infant's urine or stool is not an issue. Alcohol can be drying and irritating to the skin.
