Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A The fetal lungs do not function for respiratory gas exchange in utero.
B The baby does not simply absorb oxygen from a woman's blood system. Blood
and gas transport occur through the placenta.
C The placenta functions by supplying oxygen and excreting carbon dioxide to the
maternal bloodstream.
D The placenta delivers oxygen-rich blood through the umbilical vein, not artery.

Answer to Question 2

D
The client who has fetal macrosomia is at risk for hypotonic labor patterns. Fetal macrosomia (large fetal size), fetal malpresentation, and early or repeated maternal sedation are the risk factors that contribute to hypotonic labor patterns. Maternal size is not a risk factor for hypotonic labor patterns. Opioid administration, not epidural analgesia, can cause hypotonic labor patterns.
