Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 4. A clinical nurse specialist with whom other nurses consult for expertise in caring for high-risk infants is working in an advanced practice nursing role. This nurse has specialized knowledge and competence in a specific clinical area, and is master's prepared.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Strong contractions every 3 minutes constitute an adequate labor pattern during induction of labor. This patient is experiencing no complications.
Rationale 2: Longitudinal lie with cephalic presentation is a head-down position. This is expected.
Rationale 3: Ten cm is fully dilated; a +2 station is low in the pelvis. A strong expulsion urge is the urge to push, which will facilitate the birth of the child. These are expected.
Rationale 4: This patient is most likely fearful that she will die during labor because her mother died during childbirth. This patient requires education and a great deal of support, and is therefore the top priority.
