Maternal Newborn Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is gravida 3, para 2, and is in active labor. The fetal head is at 3+ station after a vaginal examination. Which of the following actions should the nurse take
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Observing for crowning is the appropriate action for the nurse to take when the fetal head is at 3+ station after a vaginal examination. Crowning refers to the appearance of the baby's head at the vaginal opening during delivery. This indicates that the baby is descending and will be born soon. It is important for the nurse to be prepared for the actual birth once crowning is observed, as it signifies that the second stage of labor is progressing and delivery is imminent. Applying fundal pressure, observing for a nuchal cord, or preparing to administer oxytocin are not appropriate actions at this stage of labor when crowning has been observed.
