Answer to Question 1

D
Cervical dilation of 6 cm and 100 percent effacement is an indication of the active phase of the first stage of true labor. Bloody show is a sign of impending labor. Nitrazine test positive is a manifestation of amniotic membrane rupture. Vertex presentation at -1 station can occur before labor begins.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Blood reactions can occur as soon as the blood transfusion begins, or within the first 20 minutes. The nurse should remain with the child for the first 20 minutes of the transfusion.
