Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A It is important to monitor fetal response to contractions, but the question is
concerned with the maternal vital signs.
B During uterine contractions, blood flow to the placenta temporarily stops,
causing a relative increase in the mother's blood volume, which in turn
temporarily increases blood pressure and slows pulse.
C Maternal blood flow is increased during a contraction.
D Vital signs are altered by contractions but are considered accurate for that period
of time.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A Although motor vehicle collisions do cause injuries to bicyclists, most injuries
result from falls.
B The most important aspect of bicycle safety is to encourage the rider to use a
protective helmet. Head injuries are the major cause of bicycle-related fatalities.
C The child should always wear a properly fitted helmet approved by the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission.
D Children should not ride double.
