Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The decrement is the period of decreasing strength of a contraction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, F
A station of 3 indicates that the presenting part is not engaged (is above the ischial spines); an unengaged presenting part coupled with rupture of membranes increases the risk of umbilical cord prolapse. A cervix dilated to 5 cm, associated with a high presenting part and ruptured membranes, contributes to the risk of cord prolapse.
