Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. When an adolescent pregnancy is first revealed to the teen's mother, the result is often anger, shame, or sorrow. The degree of negative response will be determined by the age of the teen, the family expectations for the teen, and the presence or absence of other teen pregnancies in the family or support network.

Answer to Question 2

2,5
Rationale 1: This is a normal contraction pattern.
Rationale 2: Late decelerations indicate uteroplacental insufficiency. It would be inappropriate to administer a central nervous depressant.
Rationale 3: This is not a contraindication to receiving a narcotic.
Rationale 4: This is not a contraindication to receiving a narcotic.
Rationale 5: This would be a contraindication, as a narcotic can lower the blood pressure even more.
