Answer to Question 1

C
Discontinue the secondary oxytocin infusion if the following occurs: contractions are more frequent than every 2 minutes and last more than 90 seconds, fetal late or prolonged decelerations, or no variability.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E, F
Changing a central venous dressing using regular aseptic dressing changes helps decrease the possibility of infections at the insertion site and systemically. Steps include washing hands, applying clean gloves, putting on a mask, removing old dressing and discarding gloves, applying sterile gloves, cleaning site according to facility policy, applying transparent dressing, and labeling with time and date.
