Answer to Question 1

B
The renal system responds as the client's distended bladder may slow the descent of the fetus. Pressure from the presenting part may cause edema of tissues and decreased urinary flow. It may also reduce the client's urge to void.

Answer to Question 2

C
Recommendations from the CDC include changing IV tubing every 48 hours.
