Answer to Question 1

C
Monitoring fetal activity is an appropriate teaching topic for a mother requiring a repeat NST. Teaching the client to force fluids, maintain bed rest at home, or return if any contractions occur are not appropriate teaching related to preparing for a repeat NST.

Answer to Question 2

A
This indicates hypoglycemia, so feedings should begin within 30 minutes after birth. However, the respiratory status of the neonate must be assessed, so that the correct method of feeding can be implemented. Hypoglycemia can cause respiratory distress.
