Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Increase in the FHR above 160 beats/minute frequently precedes a woman's temperature elevation. All the other options are normal findings for late pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A woman with hypotonic labor dysfunction will be encouraged to change position frequently to enhance contractions. With hypotonic labor uterine resting tone is decreased and IV fluids are increased. Painful and poorly coordinated contractions occur with hypertonic labor.
