Answer to Question 1

2, 4, 5
Explanation: 2. Blood pressure should be monitored along with other vital signs.
4. The nurse should monitor contraction status (frequency, duration, intensity, resting tone, and associated maternal discomfort).
5. The nurse should continually check to make sure the infused fluid is being expelled from the vagina.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:4
Rationale:Evidence of pediculosis capitis include white sacs (nits) that are attached to the hair shafts,frequently in the occiput area.Lesions may be present from itching,but the positive sign is evidence of nits.Lice and nits must be distinguished from dandruff,which appears as white flaky particles.
