Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E, F
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) may be indicated for the treatment of HEG. TPN is indicated for severe conditions. Phenergan, an antiemetic, and Prilosec, a gastric acid inhibitor, are also used for treatment of this condition. Benadryl is also used for treatment. An antibiotic such as Levaquin is not indicated for the treatment of this disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
In gestational trophoblastic disease (molar pregnancy), the following clinical manifestations would appear: increased serum beta-hCG levels, increased size of the uterus related to gestational age, nausea and vomiting, and evidence of vaginal bleeding. Development of preeclampsia earlier in the pregnancy would be noted, resulting in hypertension, not hypotension.
