Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
A bulk-producing agent, such as Metamucil, is most physiologic for the mother and safe for the fetus. Mineral oil is not recommended because of the lack of absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Saline cathartics are not recommended because of hypernatremia. Stimulant cathartics are not recommended for the pregnant woman.

Answer to Question 2

A

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
