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.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
