Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
This client is in the latent phase of the first stage of labor. Use slow, deep chest breathing patterns early in labor to conserve energy for the upcoming process. There is no mention in the stem that the membranes are ruptured, which may prohibit the patient from ambulating. Ambulating during early labor uses gravity to facilitate fetal descent. This is desired because the head is at -1 station. Epidural placement during early labor may slow down the labor process. There is no indication that birth is imminent because the patient is 3 cm dilated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When a male has an X-linked recessive disorder, he has one copy of the allele on his X chromosome. The father passes only his Y chromosome (not the X chromosome) to his sons. Therefore, none of his sons will have the X-linked recessive gene. They will not be carriers or be affected by the disorder. No additional data are needed to answer this question.
