Hallo everyone,

I need some help figuring out the answers on the NMBE Form 6... Any ideas and explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Here goes:
15 yo Pt with history of asthma non-compliant with meds. Next step to insure better compliance?
A) recommend that her perents reward or punish based on compliance
B) Negotiate a contract regarding med compliance
C) Refuse to see Pt if she continues to be non-copliant
D) start clonidine
E) Start fluoxetine
F) Start methylphenidate
G) recommend psychiatric evaluation

A-Is never a good approach
C-You can't just refuse to see a child b/c he/she is non-compliant
D,E,F- You don't start new meds b/c of non-compliants
G- There is no evidence of psych eval based on what you posted.
So that leaves us with 'B' which is a very effective method of dealing with kids and some adults.

Which is the GREATEST risk factor for preterm delivery?
A) History of adnominal operation
B) maternal age (woman is 37 in q)
C) Maternal hypertension
D) Previous preterm delivery
E) Sickle cell status

A prior history of preterm delivery increases the risk ever so much in a multi gravida.
Thanks in advance!
