Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should be prepared to give references to potential employers and have the addresses and telephone numbers of the individuals acting as references neatly printed on a separate sheet. The nurse should also fill out the application neatly in ink because some employers use this as a criterion for evaluation. When taking timed tests, the nurse should go through the entire test as quickly as possible, answering the questions known. Then, go back and work on the other questions. Generally, it is best not to change a test answer after it is written.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A woman who has had PID is more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy (a fertilized egg that implants in the fallopian tubes rather than the uterus). An ectopic pregnancy is likely to cause rupture of the fallopian tubes, which results in life-threatening hemorrhage. Birth defects are not related to PID. Sepsis is a multiorgan failure related to infections, such as toxic shock syndrome.
