Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, E
The nurse should instruct the woman to empty her bladder, lie down on her side, drink 2 to 3 non-caffeinated beverages, feel for uterine contractions, and either go to the hospital or call the health-care provider if she feels 4 or more contractions in 1 hour. She should not lie down on her back or assess for contractions for over an hour.

Some short-term neonatal morbidities associated with preterm birth include respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, sepsis, and patent ductus arteriosus. Long-term morbidities include cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and retinopathy of prematurity. Osteoporosis and
