G9: CASE ANALYSIS Ben, a 28-day-old male who was born at home, was admitted when his family midwife saw an ecchymosis on his left hemi-scrotum. Ben, a breastfed baby with no substantial family history, had been doing well at home when his parents observed an intense discoloration on his right testicle at 26 days old, which then moved to his left testicle before admission. Ben had previously been healthy, according to a prenatal checkup provided by their family midwife. What condition is baby Ben suffering from, and what vitamin deficiency caused it? And why?

Pregnancy Case Scenario A 35-year-old woman Gravida 1, Para 0, comes in for her 16-week prenatal visit for the first time. She has been suffering from nausea and vomiting since her sixth week, and while it has begun to get better, she still vomits two to three times a day. Her nausea is alleviated somewhat by sipping on hot coffee and sucking on candies. She has not been to the dentist in the past year, and she has not been able to regularly brush her teeth since the onset of vomiting, because the toothbrush in her mouth triggers her condition. She reports pain (toothache) when drinking hot tea or having ice cream. "Develop basic nursing care management for a healthy pregnancy based on the case scenario."
