Question 1 of 5

A woman is in the first stage of labor. The nurse would encourage her to assume which position to facilitate the progress of labor?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Research shows that upright positions help reduce the length of labor, improve progress, fetal head descent, reduce pain, and result in a good Apgar score. Recumbent positions can lead to supine hypotension and decrease uterine activity, hindering labor progress. Therefore, encouraging an upright position is the best choice for facilitating labor.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is providing care to a client in labor. A pelvic exam reveals a vertex presentation with the presenting part tilted toward the left side of the mother's pelvis and directed toward the anterior portion of the pelvis. When developing this client's plan of care, which intervention would the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The fetal presentation and position is left occiput anterior position or LOA, which is the most common and most favorable fetal position for birth. LOA along with right occiput anterior position are optimal positions for vaginal birth. Therefore the nurse should implement measures for a vaginal birth. This fetal presentation is not an indication for cesarean birth. Nor is there need for artificially rupturing the membranes. Continuous internal fetal monitoring would be warranted if the woman or fetus was considered to be high risk.
