Answer to Question 1

3,4
Rationale 1: Tocolytic therapy will not be used, as it can increase the maternal blood glucose.
Rationale 2: B-sympathomimetics will not be administered, as they can increase the maternal blood glucose.
Rationale 3: There will be no attempt to stop the labor, as this can compromise the mother and fetus.
Rationale 4: A euglycemic state is desirable to avoid fetal hypoglycemia.
Rationale 5: A cesarean birth would be considered if the HgbA1c were increasing, as this would indicate sustained hyperglycemia.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: A midline episiotomy is straight back from the vagina toward the rectum.
Rationale 2: Episiotomies are not cut anteriorly toward the urethra unless the patient has had a female circumcision.
Rationale 3: A mediolateral episiotomy is angled from the vaginal opening toward the buttock.
Rationale 4: Extension into the rectum is a fourth-degree laceration.
