Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
Many factors contribute to hypotonic labor, including fetal anomalies, malpresentation, and macrosomia; maternal diabetes and hypertension; multiple gestation; and hydramnios. Anxiety and fear are more likely contributing factors to hypertonic labor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Airway always comes first. The other assessments are important, but nothing takes priority over assessment of the airway.
