Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Priority information should include when labor began; the frequency, duration, and intensity of contractions; activity level of the fetus; and whether membranes have ruptured. These data help determine the condition of the mother and fetus, whether birth is imminent, and whether the labor is uneventful.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When the amniotic membranes rupture, the umbilical cord can prolapse though the cervical opening. This prevents normal blood flow through the cord, leading to fetal distress.
