Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: A baby can be harmed by medication used throughout the period of gestation. Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs should be avoided during pregnancy. Many drugs are transferred through breast milk. Teratogens can cause fetal demise and congenital malformations.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4
Rationale: This is the abbreviation for international unit but can be mistaken for IV or 10. The prescriber should write out international unit.
