Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, E
Good nutrition with appropriate ingestion of vitamins (especially folic acid) is particularly important during pregnancy to prevent birth defects. Before using medicines, pregnant women should be encouraged to try nonpharmacologic treatments. Herbal medicines that have not been scientifically tested in women during pregnancy should be avoided. Advise against the use of tobacco. Mothers who smoke have a higher frequency of miscarriage, stillbirths, premature births, and low birth weight infants. Consumption of alcohol should be eliminated 2 to 3 months before planned conception, as well as during pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The NANDA-I taxonomy identifies human response patterns. Functional components of health patterns are limited to activity, fluid volume, nutrition, self-care, and sensory perception. Basic human needs comprise less than merely health patterns. Pathophysiologic needs are not part of the scope of NANDA-I.
