Answer to Question 1
D
The longer the fetal membranes have been ruptured, the greater the risk of chorioamnionitis,
which is infection of the fetal membranes. Normally intact membranes protect the fetus from external microorganisms; infection is a risk factor if the membranes are ruptured for 24 hours or more prior to delivery. Hemorrhage does not occur as a result of membranes rupturing 24 hours prior to delivery. Precipitous labor occurs shortly after the membranes rupture. Supine hypotension is related to the mother's position during labor.
Answer to Question 2

Rationale:
1. Meningococcemia follows an infection with Neisseria meningitidis. N. meningitidis is transmitted through airborne droplets, so the child should be placed in a private room in respiratory isolation. A private room with protective isolation (child is essentially kept in a bubble) would not be appropriate.
