Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
Advantages of a freestanding birth center include a homelike setting and lower costs because the center does not require expensive departments such as emergency or critical care. Freestanding birth centers are not designed for high-risk patients, are not attended by certified obstetricians, and do not have immediate emergency access.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
This nonreassuring pattern indicates uteroplacental insufficiency and fetal heart compression. Prolonged decelerations indicate cord compression and early decelerations indicate head compressions.
