Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
Early decelerations are not indicative of fetal distress and do not require intervention. Therefore, the nurse would continue to monitor the fetal heart rate pattern. There is no need to perform a vaginal exam, report the finding to the physician, or administer oxygen.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
The nurse would expect to administer bronchodilation inhalation treatment (albuterol) if bronchospasm is present. Epinephrine, diphenhydramine, and corticosteroids are administered to reverse the allergic process.
