Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Fetal heart tones should be checked after rupture of the membranes to assess for cord compression.
2. If the presenting part is not engaged, the laboring client should not be allowed to walk, because there is a risk of cord prolapse once the membranes have ruptured.
3. The bed linen can be changed after assessing the heart rate.
4. The physician does not need to be called after rupture of the membranes unless there is a change in status of the fetus or client.
