Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
For the fetus at low risk for complications, guidelines for frequency of assessments are at least every 30 minutes during the active phase of labor.
15-minute assessments would be appropriate for a fetus at high risk.
45-minute assessments during the active phase of labor is not frequent enough to monitor for complications.
1-hour assessments during the active phase of labor are not frequent enough to monitor for complications.
