The nurse is caring for a client in the transition phase of labor and notes that the fetal monitor tracing shows average short-term and long-term variability with a baseline of 142 beats per minute.
 
  What actions should the nurse take in this situation? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Select all that apply. 1. Provide caring labor support.
  2. Administer oxygen via face mask.
  3. Change the client's position.
  4. Speed up the client's intravenous.
  5. Reassure the client and her partner that she is doing fine.

Question 2

A patient tells you that her mother was a twin, two of her sisters have twins, and several cousins either are twins or gave birth to twins. The patient, too, is expecting twins.
 
  Because there is a genetic predisposition to twins in her family, there is a good chance that the patient will have: 1. Dizygotic twins.
  2. Monozygotic twins.
  3. Identical twins.
  4. Nonzygotic twins.

Rationale 3: Identical twins, known also as monozygotic twins, are not familial.
