Question 4 of 9
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.

Question 6 of 9
When evaluating cervical mucus, what is the quality of spinnbarkeit?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The quality of spinnbarkeit refers to the elasticity of cervical mucus. Spinnbarkeit is a term used to describe the stretchability or stretchy quality of cervical mucus during ovulation. This elasticity is an important characteristic as it indicates the fertile window for a woman trying to conceive. High levels of spinnbarkeit allow for easier passage and survival of sperm, increasing the chances of conception. The other choices (B. amount, C. clarity, D. color) do not specifically refer to the stretchability or elasticity of cervical mucus, which is what is assessed when evaluating spinnbarkeit.
