Answer to Question 1

B
IV fluids may cause fluids to leave the vascular space, resulting in dehydration. Symptoms include decreased urine output, poor skin turgor, and becoming confused.

Answer to Question 2

A
The active phase begins when the cervix is dilated 4 cm and ends when the cervix is dilated 8 cm. If the client develops hypotonic uterine contractions, an ultrasound will be prescribed to evaluate the condition.
