Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
Daily perineal massage and stretching by the woman from 36 weeks until birth has been shown to reduce the risk for perineal trauma during birth. Pushing with an open glottis technique rather than prolonged breath-holding when pushing promotes gradual perineal stretching. Delaying pushing until the urge is felt gradually distends the soft tissues of the pelvic floor. An upright position while pushing promotes gradual stretching of the woman's perineum, not the lithotomy position.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Preparation for an ECV includes starting an IV line for possible drug administration or fluid resuscitation if the FHR is not reassuring, fetal monitoring to obtain baseline values, and observing the client and fetus for 1 hour after the procedure. The nurse administers a tocolytic drug such as terbutaline not an oxytocin. Rh immunoglobulin is given only if the client is Rh-negative.
