Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Babies born after a face presentation have a great deal of facial edema and may be purple from bruising. The infant must be observed closely for a patent airway, which is the priority. A face presentation does not affect the cardiovascular or genitourinary systems. If lip edema is severe, the newborn might need gavage feedings until the edema subsides and sucking can occur.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals for complications of labor by being alert to the preliminary symptoms of uterine rupture, which accounts for a substantial number of maternal deaths during labor. Hypotonic and hypertonic contractions and prolapsed fetal cord are not identified as specific complications of labor within the 2020 National Health Goals.
