Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A A narcotic at this point would put the fetus at high risk for respiratory distress.
B Perineal preparation is not necessary for a cesarean section. Some agencies will
do an abdominal prep just before the surgery.
C The catheterization should be indwelling in order to keep the bladder small
during the surgery.
D General anesthesia may be needed unexpectedly for cesarean birth. An oral
antacid neutralizes gastric acid and reduces potential lung injury if the woman
vomits and aspirates gastric contents during anesthesia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A Forceps delivery can result in local irritation, bruising, or lacerations of the fetal
scalp.
B Prophylactic antibiotics are not necessary with a forceps delivery.
C This would put the infant at risk for cold stress and would be contraindicated.
D Measuring the circumference of the head is part of the initial nursing assessment.
