Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. Late decelerations could be seen with uterine rupture.
2. Bradycardia is seen if there is uterine rupture.
3. The uterus is not holding the fetus in place anymore if the uterus ruptures.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Rationale: The tumor should never be palpated; careful bathing and handling are
an important nursing consideration.Palpa ting the tumor can cause a piece of the
tumor to dislodge. The child's behavior will not be affected with a Wilms' tumor.
The tumor does not cause excessive lowering of WBCs or RBCs, so strict isolation
or administration of packed red-blood cells is not usually a nursing intervention.
