Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: A drop in fetal heart rate accompanied by variable decelerations is consistent with a prolapsed cord, and a vaginal exam is the best way to confirm this.
Rationale 2: The vaginal exam should be done before the physician is notified.
Rationale 3: Repositioning the patient will not relieve the decreased heart rate if the cord is compromised.
Rationale 4: Administering oxygen will not relieve the decreased heart rate if the cord is compromised.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 2. The main presenting symptom of iron deficiency anemia may be fatigue.
