Answer to Question 1

C
In asymmetric intrauterine growth restriction, the head is normal in size but appears large because the infant's body is long and thin due to lack of subcutaneous fat.
The left and right side growth should be symmetric. With asymmetric intrauterine growth restrictions, the body appears smaller than normal compared to the head.
The body parts are out of proportion, with the body looking smaller than expected due to the lack of subcutaneous fat.
The body, arms, and legs have lost subcutaneous fat so they will look small compared to the head.

Answer to Question 2

A
The fetal heart rate is within the normal range, so no other action is indicated at this time.
