Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Late decelerations indicate uteroplacental insufficiency.
Rationale 2: Early decelerations are indicative of head compression.
Rationale 3: A fetus that is not experiencing stress responds to scalp stimulation with an acceleration of the FHR.
Rationale 4: Increased long-term variability is a parameter assessed when there is a questionable FHR pattern because long-term variability, when normal, can indicate that the fetus is not suffering from cerebral asphyxia.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 3. Massage therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues.
