  b. Maternal blood pressure of 120/70 mm Hg
  c. Persistent fetal bradycardia below 100 bpm
  d. Decreased intensity of uterine contractions

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Fetal bradycardia may indicate fetal distress and may require immediate intervention. Maternal pulse rate may increase due to the pushing process. Blood pressure of 120/70 mm Hg is within expected norms for this stage of labor. Decreased intensity of uterine contractions indicates the birth is imminent at this point.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
8700

Perform the calculation
Determine the total percentage of neutrophils (polys, or segs, and bands).
Multiply white blood cell (WBC) count by percentage of neutrophils.
WBC = 3000/mm3, neutrophils = 10, and nonsegmented neutrophils (bands) = 10
Step 1: 29 + 29 = 58
Step 2: 0.58  15,000 = 8700/mm3 ANC

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
