Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
VBAC can be done if the need for the primary cesarean section was based on factors other than cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) and macrosomia. A client who has had a prior classic incision into the uterus is not a candidate for this type of procedure. Based on the presented history of a cesarean section for labor dystocia during second stage with birth of newborns who weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces, and 9 pounds, respectively, this client is at risk for uterine rupture and for delivering another macrosomic infant because she has already had two cesarean sections for the same indications. A client who wants to have a scheduled cesarean section rather than go through the process of labor because she is very fearful of the pain associated with childbirth is not a candidate for a VBAC because she does not meet the clinical criteria.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This is an example of somatic pain experienced as a result of distention of the vagina and perineum during the second stage of labor. Visceral pain occurs in response to pressure on pelvic structures. Pain associated with ischemic tissue is a result of decreased blow flow to the uterus. The pain of cervical dilation is a major pain source during labor but, during the second stage of labor, the client is already fully dilated so this would not be a factor.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
