Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Patients who are Jehovah's Witnesses do not usually consent to the use of blood products. When working with a patient with these beliefs, the nurse should discuss all alternatives with the patient (including all types of blood products available) and send her home with a packet containing a consent form in which she details which (if any) blood products she will accept. This signed form should be available in three places: the patient should have a copy, a copy should be placed on her chart, and the hospital where she will give birth should also have a copy. Teaching potential complications related to the woman's choices should have already been done. Informing the health-care provider is important, but without a written document, this is not a complete action. Depending on patient, provider, and facility preferences, a patient who refuses blood products may need to be referred to another facility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Probable signs of pregnancy are objective signs observed by an examiner that usually result from physical changes in the reproductive system during pregnancy, but that can be caused by other conditions. They include abdominal enlargement, Piskacek's sign, Hegar's sign, Goodell's sign, Chadwick's sign, Braxton Hicks sign, a positive pregnancy test, and ballottement.
