Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Station describes the level of the presenting part in the pelvis. It is estimated in centimeters from the level of the ischial spines. Minus stations are above the ischial spines.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Apgar scoring is a system for evaluating the infant's need for resuscitation at birth. Five categories are evaluated on a scale from 0 to 2, with the highest score being 10. A score of 9 indicates that the newborn is stable.
