Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A This statement is inaccurate. Fetuses respond to sound by 24 weeks. Acoustic stimulations can evoke a fetal heart rate response.
B There is no such thing as an aural reflex.
C This statement is accurate.
D This statement is not appropriate; it gives the impression that something is wrong.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A The woman is assisted into a position (e.g., modified Sims position, Trendelen-burg position, or the knee-chest position) in which gravity keeps the pressure of the presenting part off the cord.
B Covering the cord in sterile gauze soaked in saline is an appropriate nursing in-tervention in the event of a prolapsed cord, but the intervention of top priority would be positioning the mother to relieve cord compression.
C Preparing the woman for cesarean birth is an appropriate nursing intervention in the event of a prolapsed cord, but the intervention of top priority would be posi-tioning the mother to relieve cord compression.
D Starting oxygen by face mask is an appropriate nursing intervention in the event of a prolapsed cord, but the intervention of top priority would be positioning the mother to relieve cord compression.
