Answer to Question 1

2,5
Rationale 1: There is spontaneous fetal movement at all times.
Rationale 2: The fetal heart rate should accelerate with stimulation.

Rationale 4: Stimulation is not related to decelerations.
Rationale 5: There will be some reaction with the stimulation.

Answer to Question 2

2
