Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A This is not a reassuring pattern; interventions are needed.
B Nursing interventions should be initiated before notifying the health care
provider.
C Late decelerations are associated with reduced placental perfusion. Giving the
laboring woman oxygen increases the oxygen saturation in her blood, making
more oxygen available to the fetus.
D The Trendelenburg position will not increase the placental perfusion.
