Answer to Question 1

A
Forceps delivery can result in local irritation, bruising, or lacerations of the fetal scalp.
Prophylactic antibiotics are not necessary with a forceps delivery.
This would put the infant at risk for cold stress and would be contraindicated.
Measuring the circumference of the head is part of the initial nursing assessment.
