Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
With a prolonged descent, intravenous oxytocin may be used to induce the uterus to contract effectively. Fluid replacement, pain management, and activity will not cause the fetus to descend quicker.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Findings with a hydatidiform mole may include uterine size larger than expected. Mild nausea would be a normal finding at 10 weeks' gestation. Blood pressure of 120/84 would not be associated with hydatidiform mole and depending on the woman's baseline blood pressure may be within acceptable parameters for her. Bright red spotting might suggest a spontaneous abortion.
