Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Lightening is the descent of the fetus toward the pelvic inlet before labor.
B Lie is the relationship of the long axis of the fetus to the long axis of the mother.
C The sutures and fontanels allow the bones of the fetal head to move slightly,
changing the shape of the fetal head so it can adapt to the size and shape of the
pelvis.
D Presentation is the fetal part that first enters the pelvic inlet.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. The bolus is given by the health care provider at the beginning of therapy, and is not repeated.
2. The client experiences pain relief within 30 minutes of administration of oral pain medications. IV pain medications have rapid pain relief.
3. The client feels a greater sense of control and less dependence on the nursing staff is correct. The preset pump has a time lockout, so the client cannot deliver another dose until a specified period of time has elapsed, but it allows the client to do the administering.
4. The client is locked out of delivering as many doses as desired by the preset time lockout in the pump.
