Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 4. For this pattern of labor, nonpharmacologic methods of pain relief should be suggested. These can include back rubs, providing encouragement, and clean linens.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: The pulse rate will increase 1015 beats per minute at term due to the increased blood volume during pregnancy. This is a normal response, and does not indicate a need for emergency measures or treatment.
Rationale 2: This pulse rate in a near-term patient is not considered to be tachycardia.
Rationale 3: This pulse rate in a near-term patient does not indicate a need for emergency measures or treatment.
Rationale 4: This patient does not need to go to the hospital.
