ANS: C
Amniotic fluid should be clear and have a mild odor, if any. Fetal tachycardia of greater than 160 beats/min is often the first sign of intrauterine infection. A temperature of 100.4 F or higher is a classic symptom of infection. Vital signs should be assessed hourly to identify tachycardia or tachypnea, which often accompany temperature elevation.
