Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Meconium-stained amniotic fluid indicates a potential risk factor during labor. Primigravida at 38 weeks with spontaneous ROM, multigravida with a history of 10-hour labors, and multigravida admitted for repeat elective cesarean section do not have potential maternal or fetal risk factors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Variable deceleration patterns are seen in response to head compression or cord compression. A breech presentation would not be likely to cause this fetal heart rate pattern. Similarly, administration of medication and/or an epidural would not cause this fetal heart rate pattern.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
