Answer to Question 1

D

A Trying to relieve pressure on the cord should be the first priority.
B Trying to relieve pressure on the cord should take priority over increasing fetal
monitoring techniques.
C Emergency cesarean delivery may be necessary if relief of the cord is not
accomplished.

D
Feedback
A The deltoid muscle is not used for intramuscular injections in young children.
