Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
Neural tube defects (NTDs) generally occur between the 18th and 28th days of pregnancy, often before the woman knows she is pregnant. All women of childbearing age should get 400 g/day of folic acid to help prevent NTDs. It is a good habit to get into prior to contemplating pregnancy, but this answer does not give specific information. Most people do not have a serious deficiency of folic acid; however, pregnant women (and those who could be pregnant) need to have a minimal amount of folic acid. Several foods are good sources of folic acid, including green leafy vegetables, liver, legumes, orange juice, and fortified breakfast cereals; it is also contained in multivitamins.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: A
Poor feeding and irritability are signs of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in infants. A child with spina bifida is at risk for hydrocephalus, which can lead to increased ICP. A corroborating sign would be bulging fontanels. The nurse should quickly palpate the infant's fontanels. Monitoring the child and obtaining vital signs are important actions too, but palpating the fontanels can be done quickly as the nurse handles the child and performs other procedures. The nurse should not attempt to feed this baby now.
