Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
Amniotic fluid should be clear and have a mild odor, if any.
Fetal tachycardia of greater than 160 beats/min is often the first sign of intrauterine infection.
A temperature of 100.4 F or higher is a classic symptom of infection.
Vital signs should be assessed hourly to identify tachycardia or tachypnea, which often ac-company temperature elevation.
