Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Trauma to the vaginal area from a forceps birth may result in significant blood loss from hematomas or lacerations. Tachycardia is an early sign of compensation for excessive blood loss. A displaced uterine fundus is mostly likely indicative of a full bladder. Vaginal pain may be present even when the vaginal mucosa is intact. Moderate lochia rubra is a common finding early in the postpartum period.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Forceps or vacuum extraction is considered if the second stage should be shortened for the well-being of the woman or fetus. Onset of late decelerations is an indication for an operative birth. With the fetus at +3 station, an outlet operative birth can be performed. Complete dilation for 2 hours at +2 station, complete dilation for 1 hour with a transverse arrest at station +1, and complete dilation for 1 hour with fetal descent from 0 station to +1 in 1 hour are situations in which client pushing and position changes would be used before operative intervention is indicated.
