Evidence boundary
This is OpenStax Maternal Newborn Nursing, Chapter 16 Review Question 24. The Select all that apply instruction and all choices are retained. Options 2, 3, and 4 are reasoned from the textbook's lateral-position and tachysystole-management sections, not a claimed official key. Option 3 describes an intervention within a treatment bundle; repositioning alone is not guaranteed to reverse excessive contractions.
