Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Active fetal movement is an expected occurrence.
B The fetus should be able to tolerate contractions lasting 90 seconds if the resting
phase is sufficient to allow for a return of adequate blood flow.
C Expected FHR range is from 120 to 160 .
D When fetal oxygen is compromised, relaxation of the rectal sphincter allows
passage of meconium into the amniotic fluid.

Answer to Question 2

B
The relationship of fetal body parts to one another is characteristic of fetal attitude. The relationship of the long axis of the fetus to the long axis of the mother represents fetal lie. The relationship of the presenting fetal part to the maternal pelvis represents fetal station or fetal position. The part of the fetus that enters the pelvis first represents fetal presentation.
