Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: Normal dietary intake of fat should be maintained during the days preceding the test to empty bile from the gallbladder. A low-fat or fat-free diet is prescribed on the evening before the test. This prevents contraction of the gallbladder and allows for accumulation of the contrast substance needed for x-ray visualization during the testing procedure. Therefore liquid, low-protein, and high-carbohydrate are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: From 22 weeks until term, the fundal height measured in centimeters is roughly plus or minus 2 cm of the gestational age of the fetus in weeks. If the fundal height exceeds weeks of gestation, additional assessment is necessary to investigate the cause for the unexpected uterine size. If an unexpected increase in uterine size is present, it may be that the estimated date of de-livery is incorrect and the pregnancy is further advanced than previously thought. If the estimat-ed date of delivery is correct, it may be possible that more than one fetus is present.
