Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Critical information to relay to the physician or nurse-midwife includes the patient's name and age; gravidity and parity; gestational age and estimated date of delivery; labor status, pattern of contractions, cervical dilatation and effacement; fetal presentation and station; status of the fetal membranes; fetal heart rate and response to contractions; patient's vital signs, especially blood pressure and temperature; any identified risk to maternal or fetal well-being; and the patient's coping ability in response to labor. Presence of support persons and status of other children would not be critical information at this point.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Any gush of fluid from a pregnant woman's vagina needs to be evaluated, even if there are no contractions. The other responses are not appropriate for this situation.
