Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Internal version is used only during vaginal birth to manipulate the second twin into a presentation that allows it to be born vaginally. For internal version to occur, the cervix needs to be completely dilated. For internal version to occur, the cervix needs to be dilated. Internal version is done to turn the second twin after the first twin is born.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The drain tube of the catheter should be positioned under the client's to promote drainage and to keep the catheter away from the operative area. Urinary output must be continuously monitored. An early sign of hypovolemia is decreasing urinary output. The anesthesia clinician must monitor urine output during the surgery so it should not be clamped. The surgeon might step on the drainage bag if the catheter were below the drapes, and no one could monitor the urine output.
