Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Standing more than 5 hours a day increases the risk of preterm labor. To be therapeutic in communication, avoid false reassurance.
Rationale 2: Although breaks for eating, drinking, and toileting are important for pregnant employees, it is more important to tell the patient about the increased risks associated with standing more than 5 hours a day.
Rationale 3: Pregnant women who stand for more than 5 hours a day have an increased risk of preterm labor. Because preterm labor can put the infant's life at risk, this statement would be the best.
Rationale 4: Although this is true, it is less important than teaching the patient about the risks of preterm labor from standing more than 5 hours a day.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 4. Checking the cervix will determine whether the cord prolapsed when the membranes ruptured. The nurse would assess for prolapsed cord via vaginal examination.
