Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The second stage of labor commences when the cervix is fully dilated and ends with the birth of the baby. The nurse (or woman) often suspects this has occurred when the woman has strong urges to push or has involuntary bearing-down efforts. Contractions remain similar to those experienced during transition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Baseline variability is the most important predictor of adequate fetal oxygenation during labor. It can be described as absent, minimal, moderate, or marked. Adequate variability is described as moderate. This is a normal and reassuring finding and should be documented in the patient's chart. No further action is needed.
