Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Early decelerations are not related to the use of stadol.
Rationale 2: Late decelerations are not related to the use of stadol.
Rationale 3: After the patient receives a pain medication, the variability decreases.
Rationale 4: Accelerations after contractions are not related to the use of stadol.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
Rationale: The pain during a sickling crisis is severe,and morphine is needed for pain control around the clock or by patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Meperidine is not used for pain control for clients with sickle-cell pain crisis because it could cause seizures. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen are used for mild pain and would not be effective for the severe pain experienced by a child in sickle-cell pain crisis.
