Question 3 of 5
Platypelloid pelvis
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A platypelloid pelvis is characterized by a flat shape with a shortened anteroposterior diameter, which can impede fetal descent during labor. This pelvic type is associated with an increased risk of dystocia, which is difficulty in childbirth due to inadequate progress of labor. The flat shape of the pelvis may lead to improper positioning of the baby, making it challenging for the fetus to navigate through the birth canal. This can result in prolonged labor, increased risk of birth injuries, and potential complications for both the mother and the baby. In some cases, it may necessitate interventions such as labor induction or cesarean delivery to ensure a safe outcome for the mother and the baby.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in the first stage of labor and is using pattern-paced breathing. The client says she feels lightheaded and her fingers are tingling. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client is exhibiting signs of hyperventilation, which can occur as a result of rapid breathing techniques such as pattern-paced breathing during labor. Administering oxygen via nasal cannula can help the client rebalance her oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, which will alleviate the lightheadedness and tingling sensations she is experiencing. Oxygen therapy is the appropriate intervention for respiratory alkalosis caused by hyperventilation. Assisting the client to breathe into a paper bag or instructing her to increase her respiratory rate would exacerbate the hyperventilation and should be avoided. Tucking her chin to her chest is not an appropriate intervention in this situation.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following interpretations of this finding should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The finding of "station -1" indicates that the presenting part of the baby is 1 cm above the ischial spines in the mother's pelvis. Station is a measurement used in obstetrics to describe the position of the presenting part of the fetus in relation to the ischial spines of the mother's pelvis during labor. Stations are measured in centimeters and range from -5 (highest) to +5 (lowest). In this case, a station of -1 means the baby's presenting part is 1 cm above the ischial spines. This information helps healthcare providers assess the progress of labor and determine the positioning of the baby during delivery.
