Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 3. Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) provides a continuous tracing of the fetal heart rate (FHR), allowing characteristics of the FHR to be observed and evaluated.

Answer to Question 2

2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Low spinal cord defects are associated with absence of Babinski's response, not tremors.
Rationale 2: Tremors or jerky twitching can be an indication of hypoglycemia, and should be evaluated.
Rationale 3: Electrolyte imbalances such as hypocalcemia can cause tremors.
Rationale 4: Restlessness and tremors are evident in the hewborn experiencing substance withdrawal.
Rationale 5: Neurologic damage should be considered if the newborn is experiencing tremors.
