Answer to Question 1

A
The Babinski reflex causes the toes to flare outward and the big toe to dorsiflex.
The tonic neck reflex (also called the fencing reflex) refers to the posture assumed by new-borns when in a supine position.
The stepping reflex occurs when infants are held upright with their heel touching a solid sur-face and the infant appears to be walking.
Plantar grasp reflex is similar to the palmar grasp reflex: when the area below the toes is touched, the infant's toes curl over the nurse's finger.

Answer to Question 2

C
A large rupture of the uterus will disrupt its ability to contract.
Fetal tachycardia is a sign of hypoxia. With a large rupture, the nurse should be alert for the earlier signs.
This is not an early sign of a rupture.
Contractions will stop with a rupture.
