4. What activities best describe the work of the placenta during pregnancy?
- A. surrounding and cushioning the fetus
- B. combining maternal and fetal blood stores to exchange nutrients
- C. producing hormones that maintain the pregnancy
- D. absorbing vitamins and minerals that can be transferred to the fetus
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The placenta plays a crucial role in producing hormones that are necessary for maintaining pregnancy, supporting fetal development, and preparing the mother's body for childbirth. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the placenta's primary function is not to surround and cushion the fetus, combine blood stores for nutrient exchange, or absorb vitamins and minerals. While the placenta does facilitate the exchange of nutrients and oxygen between the mother and fetus, its hormone production is the most critical function during pregnancy.
5. Mr. CKK is unconscious and was brought to the E.R. Who among the following can give consent for CKK's operation?
- A. Doctor
- B. Nurse
- C. Next of Kin
- D. The Patient
Correct answer: A
Rationale: In the scenario described, when a patient is unconscious and unable to provide consent, the responsibility usually falls on the physician to make decisions regarding the patient's treatment, including obtaining consent for an operation. While nurses play a crucial role in patient care, they typically do not have the authority to provide consent for a major procedure. The next of kin may be consulted for input, but the ultimate decision-making authority lies with the physician. The patient, being unconscious, is unable to provide consent in this situation.
