Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4
Explanation: 1. As the fetal head continues its descent, the perineum begins to bulge, flatten, and move anteriorly.
2. Bloody show increases as a woman enters the second stage of labor.
4. As the fetal head descends, the woman has the urge to push because of pressure of the fetal head on the sacral and obturator nerves.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: To soothe a newborn during assessment or other procedures, the nurse can place a gloved finger into the newborn's mouth.
Rationale 2: Crying increases heart rate and respiratory rate, so vitals should not be taken when the newborn is crying.
Rationale 3: Assessment of vitals needs to be done at regularly timed intervals, so waiting until the newborn stops crying might cause too long a delay.
Rationale 4: A hot water bottle should not be placed next to the newborn because of the risk for burns.
