More NCLEX questions

Before I head out for clinical I thought I would post more NCLEX style questions with OB content... It may help keep this blog semi-midwifery focused as I haven't had many birth posts in a while... That is because I haven't been around birth in a while...I'm busy focusing on finishing nursing school, which has nothing to do with birth - directly. Anyway, when I start working on L&D, I'm sure I'll be more inspired to write about birth.
