Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An additional risk factor, regardless of race, is advancing age. Women aged 40 years and older have over three times the risk of dying of a pregnancy-related cause as women aged 30 to 39 years. Intrinsic maternal factors, such as increasing frequency of hypertension and a greater likelihood of uterine hemorrhage, help explain this increase in the mortality rate. The other responses are not therapeutic responses by the nurse. It is important for the nurse to educate the woman that there can be more risks associated with becoming pregnant after age 40.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: E
In 2012, 34 of all U.S. children lived in single-parent homes.
