Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
After a seizure, all fetuses must be checked and accounted for. Fetal heart rate may show variability or bradycardia. A fetal heart rate of 98 is bradycardic, and the nurse should intervene immediately. Oxygen saturation of 94 is normal, a postictal patient will be drowsy and difficult to arouse, and a respiratory rate of 12 breaths/minute is normal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Teenagers, especially the younger ones, are very dependent on others for the basics of their everyday lives, and this vulnerability often makes it difficult to leave an abusive situation in which they depend on their abusers. The other options are inaccurate, dismissive, and stereotypical.
