Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Women with certain complications, including a history of stillbirth, a high-risk pregnancy (preeclampsia-eclampsia, placenta previa, abruptio placentae, multiple gestations, prolonged or premature rupture of the membranes), induction with oxytocin, or a problem with FHT, should have FHT monitored continuously.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Ultrasound is the most accurate way to assess the fetal position. Leopold maneuvers are not always accurate and may be clinically difficult, which also makes assessing fetal heart tones more difficult. A vaginal examination can be used, but if the membranes are still intact or if the cervix is only minimally dilated, the examiner may not be able to determine the fetus's position.
