Question 5 of 5
A woman has been having contractions since 4am this morning. At 8am her cervix dilated 5cm. Contractions are frequent, mild to moderate in intensity. CPD has been ruled out. After giving her sedation so she can rest, what would anticipate preparing her for?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The scenario describes a woman in active labor with frequent, mild to moderate contractions and significant cervical dilation. If cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) has been ruled out and the progress of labor is slow despite sufficient dilation and descent of the fetus, it may indicate cephalopelvic disproportion, failure to progress, or other complications that could necessitate a cesarean section (c/s). In this case, providing sedation to allow for rest suggests that the medical team is considering the possibility of further intervention, such as a c/s, if the labor does not progress effectively despite sufficient dilation. Therefore, preparing the woman for a c/s would be the anticipated next step in her care.
