labor and delivery nclex questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which maternal factor may inhibit fetal descent during labor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A full bladder can inhibit fetal descent during labor by obstructing the pathway for the baby to descend through the birth canal. A distended bladder can physically block the baby's head from moving down and putting pressure on the cervix, which is necessary for the progress of labor. It is important for pregnant individuals to empty their bladder regularly during labor to optimize the conditions for fetal descent and facilitate a smoother delivery process.
Question 2 of 5
The health care provider for a laboring patient makes the following entry into the patient’s record: 3/50%/+1. What instruction will the nurse implement with the patient?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The notation "3/50%/+" in the patient's record indicates that the patient is dilated 3 cm, the effacement is 50%, and the presenting part of the fetus is at +1 station. This information signifies that the patient is in active labor. The nurse should implement the instruction of having the patient remain in bed attached to the electronic fetal monitor to closely monitor the progression of labor and the well-being of the fetus. This will allow for continuous assessment and prompt interventions as needed.
