Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: The client in labor may be given parenteral analgesia during the first stage of labor, up to 2 to 3 hours before the anticipated delivery. Butorphanol tartrate is a medication that may be prescribed for pain relief. Increasing uterine contractions, decreasing uterine contractions, and promoting fetal lung maturity are not actions of this medication.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: In the Ortolani maneuver, the examiner abducts both hips. A positive finding is a palpable click on the affected side during abduction. Crying is expected. Asymmetry and re-duced range of motion of the affected hip are not positive signs of this maneuver.
