Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale:
1. A fetal sinusoidal pattern is associated with Rh isoimmunization, fetal anemia, and fetal hypoxia.
2. Variables result from maternal drugs, hypoxia, and fetal sleep.
3. Tachycardia is associated with hypoxia, maternal fever, or maternal hyperthyroidism.
4. Causes of fetal bradycardia include fetal hypoxia, maternal hypotension, prolonged umbilical cord compression, fetal arrhythmia, uterine hyperstimulation, abruptio placentae, uterine rupture, and vagal stimulation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Beneficence means doing good and may include prevention of harm, removal of evil, and promotion of good. Justice refers to how we divide benefits and burdens. Veracity is truthfulness: nurses are truthful with clients in their care. Fidelity is keeping promises: if nurses make promises to clients, they keep them.
