Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In the absence of any adverse fetal response, hypertonic stimulation can be managed by reducing the infusion rate by 1 to 2 mU/min until uterine hyperstimulation is resolved. Stopping the drip immediately is not necessary unless hyperstimulation continues and adverse fetal responses occur. Reassessing and repositioning are of no benefit in this situation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The cervix must be partially open to allow the membranes to be ruptured. An amniotomy cannot be performed when the cervix is closed. Breech presentation would be delivered by cesarean section and membranes would be ruptured at birth. Rupturing the membranes in a client with hydramnios can result in abruptio placentae.
