Answer to Question 1

1,5
Rationale 1: Hot dogs and other luncheon meats should not be eaten during pregnancy unless they are fully cooked. Since they have a high sodium content, they should be avoided.
Rationale 2: Cantaloupe is a good source of vitamins A and C.
Rationale 3: Asparagus is a good source of vitamin K and folic acid.
Rationale 4: Popcorn without butter and salt is good to eat for fiber.
Rationale 5: No kind of alcohol should be consumed.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Maternal vital signs do not affect the decision to perform an amniotomy.
Rationale 2: Fetal birth weight does not affect the decision to perform an amniotomy.
Rationale 3: The most important assessment is for fetal presentation, position, and station. Fetal presentation and position must be known to determine whether vaginal delivery is possible. Station is important because if the fetal head is not engaged, a prolapsed cord is a risk.
Rationale 4: Biparietal diameter does not affect the decision to perform an amniotomy.
