Maternal Body System Changes During Labor
Laurie is a 32-year-old primigravida at 40 weeks of gestation who is admitted to the Labor and Delivery unit in early labor. She has no known risk factors. Her bag of waters is intact, and she is 3 cm dilated, 90% effaced, and –1 station. The fetal heart rate is 120 with moderate variability, and she is contracting 3 to 4 minutes apart for 60 seconds.
As a woman progresses through the stages of labor, various body system adaptations will occur. What are these physiologic changes, and what are the risks to the maternal-fetal unit as a result? How will the nurse modify her care of Laurie in response to these physiologic changes during labor?
1. What are the cardiovascular physiologic changes that occur during labor?
2. What position is beneficial for the laboring woman owing to these cardiovascular changes?
3. What are the respiratory physiologic changes that occur during labor?
4. Laurie asks the nurse if she can eat the turkey sandwich that her husband bought for her in the cafeteria. Should Laurie eat a sandwich while in labor? What are the gastrointestinal physiologic changes that occur during labor?
5. Laurie's labor progresses. Her bag of waters ruptures spontaneously for clear fluid. She is 5 cm dilated on examination. Laurie wants an epidural for pain management. She is preloaded with IV fluid. Her bladder is distended 1 hour after the epidural is placed, and the nurse obtains an order from the physician for an in and out catheterization. The nurse dipsticks Laurie's urine for protein, and it is 1+. Should the nurse be concerned about this finding?
6. Laurie is now 10 cm dilated and +2 station, and she feels the urge to push. What instructions should the nurse give Laurie about pushing?

10. You recently joined an AI (artificial intelligence) spin-out that has been launched by PhD students of the University of Oxford. The company has developed a range of proprietary algorithms that allow it to locate the source of malaria outbreaks, and predict the pace of the spread and the duration of the outbreak. The project has received public funding in the form of a research grant, but the funds may run out before the product is market ready. A new research grant application would delay the launch for 12 months but it is highly likely that the grant application will be successful. After the company has received some press coverage an off-shore based venture capital firm offers a much needed immediate cash injection in exchange for shares of the company.
a) You are tasked to make the final decision on whether to accept or reject the offer from the venture capital firm. Discuss how you reached your decision.
b) Discuss the short-term and long-term implications of your decision on the common good in the UK and globally.

Use the following information to answer the next three questions. A British money manager observes that the one-year interest rate is 8 percent in the United Kingdom and 10 percent in the US. The current spot exchange rate is $1.05/£. What should be the one year forward rate according to IRP? Assume the UK is the domestic nation. Round intermediate steps to four decimals. £1.0309/$ £.9351/$ £.97/$ £1.0694/$ 5 points
QUESTION 3 If the actual forward rate is £.96/$, find the percentage return available to this investor via covered interest arbitrage. Round intermediate steps and your final answer to four decimals and enter your answer in decimal format (EX: .XXXX). 5 points
QUESTION 4 Which of the following would eliminate the covered interest arbitrage profit found in the previous question? An increase in the forward rate for dollars in terms of pounds An increase in the spot rate for dollars in terms of pounds A decrease in the spot rate for dollars in terms of pounds Covered interest arbitrage was not possible in the previous question
