Answer to Question 1

A, E, F
Feedback:
For inevitable, incomplete, and missed abortions occurring between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, a drug called dinoprostone (Prostin E2) may be administered to the mother. The drug causes the uterus to expel the fetus. In the case of a threatened abortion, the client is put to bed with her feet elevated for 48 to 72 hours. If bleeding stops, she may resume limited activities. Complete abortion occurs when the woman spontaneously expels all the products of conception. A missed abortion occurs when the fetus has died but remains in the uterus. If the fetus is not expelled spontaneously within 1 month, the pregnancy will be terminated and a D&C performed.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, F
Feedback:
Poor skin turgor, changes in respiratory pattern, and changes in urine volume are possible indicators of fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Increased heart rate, thirst, and a significant difference between intake and output are also indicators.
