Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Oxygen is administered to increase blood oxygen saturation and decrease the stress on the heart. IV fluid administration is kept to a minimum to prevent fluid overload. The patient would be positioned in a semi-Fowler position to improve circulation. The patient should be encouraged to rest between contractions to conserve energy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
Physical activity reduces death rates as adults, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, and reduces the risk of diabetes and hypertension. Physical activity increases self-esteem.
