Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Abruptio placentae results in uterine irritability and a high resting uterine tone. A normal resting tone is from 5 to 15 mm Hg; FHR of 150 bpm, moderate variability of FHR, and contractions every 3 minutes are normal labor findings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Nursing assessments for the client with placenta previa focus on determining the amount of blood loss. The nurse does not perform vaginal exams on a client with placenta previa because of the risk of perforating the placenta, the client may or may not be experiencing contractions, and induction is not indicated for a client with placenta previa.
