Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
There are many benefits to prenatal care. Nurses play a vital role in ensuring that women receive information and are able to make informed decisions regarding their pregnancy. Women who receive prenatal care have a five-fold decrease in pregnancy-related maternal death and improved pregnancy outcomes. One of the main concepts of prenatal care is early identification of deviations from the normal pregnancy. Increased immediate costs may be an outcome (not a benefit) of prenatal care as compared to women who do not receive prenatal care, but long-term costs are often higher.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Routine screening for gestational diabetes is usually offered around 24 to 28 weeks' gestation.
