Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Oxytocin can lead to water intoxication. Therefore, a urine output of 20 mL/hour is below acceptable limits of 30 mL/hour and requires intervention. FHR of 150 beats/minute is within the accepted range of 120 to 160 beats/minute. Contractions should occur every 2 to 3 minutes, lasting 40 to 60 seconds. A uterine resting tone greater than 20 mm Hg would require intervention.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
Feedback:
: Teaching for the parents of a child with a newly placed ventriculoperitonea l shunt should include encouraging the intake of fruit, vegetables, and fluid to prevent constipation; expecting to have the shunt replaced as the child grows; examining the site every day for signs of redness or swelling; notifying the health care provider if the child develops a fever; and observing for signs of increased intracranial pressure.
