Answer to Question 1

D
The priority is to relieve pressure on the cord. Changing the maternal position will shift the position of the fetus so that the cord is not compressed.
Notifying the physician is a priority but not the first action.
This would not be appropriate at this time.
This would not be the first priority.

Answer to Question 2

B
As the infant's skin begins to dry, the creases will appear more prominent and the infant's gestation could be misinterpreted.
