Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
Important nursing assessments and/or interventions include monitoring of vital signs and level of consciousness continuously, continuous fetal monitoring with stress tests and external or internal fetal monitoring, and deep tendon reflexes. IV magnesium sulfate is often prescribed for patients with PIH. Oxytocin increases uterine contractions and is contraindicated in preterm labor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, E
Fever as well as generalized aches and pains is a common adverse effect of treatment with this drug. Nausea, constipation, insomnia, diarrhea, and anorexia are not adverse effects of Rho(D) immune globulin.
