Answer to Question 1

D
A cause of fetal tachycardia may be maternal infection, so assessing the mother's temperature is a priority in this situation. Applying a fetal scalp electrode is appropriate for internal fetal monitoring, but is not the appropriate action for the information presented. Applying oxygen at 10 liters per minute by face mask and preparing for cesarean delivery are not appropriate actions.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback

crown-rump length.

crown-rump length.
D The biparietal diameter, a method of assessing gestational age during the last half
of pregnancy, is most accurate from 12 to 20 weeks.
