Answer to Question 1

B
The number of women who are abused during pregnancy experiencing preterm delivery and low-birth-weight infants has doubled. Women also postpone prenatal care until the third trimester when it is too late to provide adequate care to treat problems. Hemorrhage after delivery, substance abuse, and operative delivery are not noted as issues more prevalent in abused pregnant women.

Answer to Question 2

B
Physical problems can lead to changes in mental status. Early assessment and intervention are key for keeping older adult's minor problems from becoming major ones. An alteration of the patient's oxygenation can affect a client's behavior.
