Answer to Question 1

D
The contraction stress test evaluates placental insufficiency. Intravenous oxytocin or self-breast stimulation causes uterine contractions. If late decelerations occur with more than half of the contractions, the test is positive for placental insufficiency.

Answer to Question 2

B
When administering nose drops, insert dropper about 3/8-inch into the nostril and have the client inhale as drops are administered. This prevents the medication from leaking out of the nares and allows for proper delivery.
