Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A full bladder can hinder the progression of labor by slowing the descent of the fetus. A full bladder can also contribute to increased pain during contractions. The nurse should assess the woman for a full bladder. This is easy and quick to accomplish. The woman should be encouraged to void every 2 hours. The other options are not warranted.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Typically with a cephalic presentation, fetal heart tones will be heard best below the level of the maternal umbilicus.
