Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4
Explanation:
1. The fetus should not be removed from the room unless the client asks that the fetus be removed.
2. The fetus should be bathed/cleansed and wrapped in a blanket in preparation for viewing.
3. The client should be asked her preference for viewing and holding the baby.
4. It is inappropriate for the nurse to instruct the client on home care needed after delivery at this time. The client and family are having a highly emotional experience which should not be ignored.
5. Oftentimes other family members will be present and they should be asked of their desire to spend time with the baby.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 5
Explanation:
1. The presence of prolonged decelerations is a sign of nonreassuring fetal status. Intrauterine resuscitation should be started without delay.
2. The presence of persistent late decelerations is a sign of nonreassuring fetal status. Intrauterine resuscitation should be started without delay.
3. Fetal activity is not used as an indication for intrauterine resuscitation.
4. A fetal heart rate of 140 bpm is within normal limits.
5. The presence of persistent and severe variable decelerations is a sign of monreassuring fetal status. Intrauterine resuscitation should be started without delay.
