Answer to Question 1

D
Braxton Hicks contractions are irregular, intermittent contractions, usually felt toward the end of the pregnancy, although some women experience these contractions throughout the second half of their pregnancy. True labor contractions increase in intensity and duration.

B
For two or more medications, give separately. Attach the syringe, pour 30 cc of one medication, open the clamp, rinse with 5 cc water, pour remaining medication into the tube, and flush with 30 to 50 cc water.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
