Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Altered fetal cerebral blood flow would result in early decelerations in the FHR.
B Umbilical cord compression would result in variable decelerations in the FHR.
C Uteroplacental insufficiency would result in late decelerations in the FHR.
D Meconium-stained fluid may or may not produce changes in the fetal heart rate, depending on the gestational age of the fetus and whether other causative factors associated with fetal distress are present.

Answer to Question 2

136
Rationale: 6.8 x 20 mg = 136 mg/day.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
