Answer to Question 1

A
That breastfed babies have a lower incidence of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections is a well-researched and documented benefit of breastfeeding for the infant. Breastfed infants also need to be immunized against varicella by 12 to 15 months. Saying that breast milk offers no greater protection to your baby than formula feedings is a false statement. Also, maternal antibodies passed to the infant through breast milk are highly targeted against pathogens in the child's immediate environment.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. Late decelerations indicate uteroplacental insufficiency.
2. Early decelerations are indicative of head compression.
3. A fetus that is not experiencing stress responds to scalp stimulation with an acceleration of the FHR.
4. Increased long-term variability is a parameter assessed when there is the presence of a questionable FHR pattern because long-term variability, when normal, can indicate that the fetus is not suffering from cerebral asphyxia.
