Answer to Question 1

Spinnbarkeit
During most of the female reproductive cycle, the mucus of the cervix is scant, thick, and
sticky. Just before ovulation, cervical mucus becomes thin, clear, and elastic to promote
passage of sperm into the uterus and fallopian tubes, where they can fertilize the ovum.

Answer to Question 2

D
Variable decelerations are normal in labor, and are caused by cord compression from the contraction. Increasing the IV rate and preparing for emergency cesarean section are not necessary for variable decelerations. Turning the client to the left lateral position is not necessary for variable decelerations, unless the mother would be more comfortable in the left lateral position.
