Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
A nurse who is able to deliver culturally competent care to incarcerated women quickly becomes cognizant of the challenges of caring for this population. These women tend to have many health problems, including substance abuse and dependency. They frequently have not had access to health-related knowledge. Because nearly 1.3 million children of incarcerated women have no mother figure in their lives, women in prison or jail are often deeply concerned about their welfare. This demonstrates caring and can often be the motivation for making changes. The nurse needs to complete a thorough obstetrical history, including determining risk factors for high-risk pregnancy. The nurse does not need to know about the woman's criminal history.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E
One goal of the Healthy People initiative is to reduce vaccine-preventable illnesses such as measles, mumps, and rubella to zero cases and to reduce pertussis in children under 7 to no more than 2,000 cases/year. Asthma and meningitis are not included in this goal.
