Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Before labor can be safely induced, cervical ripening must occur. Baseline data must include full maternal and fetal status. Maternal renal function and respiratory function are not part of the baseline assessment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The greatest concern with tranexamic acid (TA) is venous or arterial thrombosis. Women taking TA should not take oral contraceptives, which would increase the risk of thrombosis. Back pain and muscle cramps are known adverse effects. Women may take up to two tablets 3 times a day for up to 5 days with each period. The medication can be taken with or without food, but bioavailability increases in the presence of food.
