Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D, E
Nursing actions would include maintaining electronic fetal monitoring to assess fetal status; positioning the client in the left lateral position; maintaining a low-stimulus environment; explaining to the client the need for monitoring heart rate and blood pressure; checking maternal blood pressure every minute for the first 5 minutes following administration; and then every 5 minutes for the next 30 minutes.

Answer to Question 2

C, E, F
Further teaching is needed if a student responded comatose, noisy alert, or no motor activity. The six behavioral states of the term infant include drowsy, light sleep, deep sleep, quiet alert, crying, and considerable motor activity.
