Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A The FHR is within the normal range, so no other action is indicated at this time.
B The FHR is within the expected range; reassessment should occur, but not in 5
minutes.
C The FHR is within the expected range; no further action is necessary at this
point.
D The sex of the baby cannot be determined by the FHR.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Urine pH can be used to identify certain conditions, but would not be part of the initial assessment.
2. Calculation of output would provide a better assessment of complete emptying of the bladder because overdistention can cause trauma to the bladder, displace the uterus, and cause infection.
3. Urine-specific gravity can be used to identify certain conditions but would not be part of the initial assessment.
4. Calculation of intake is incorrect.
