Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Lack of emergency equipment and personnel as well as distance from medical care increase risk to mother and baby if complications arise. Familiar, comfortable settings are an advantage of home birth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
An ultrasound device or fetoscope can be used to assess FHR. The FHR should be assessed every 15 minutes for 30 to 60 seconds during the first stage of labor. In the second stage, it should be assessed every 5 minutes. It should be counted between, during, and immediately after uterine contractions.
