Question 2 of 5

A woman's position is an important component of the labor progress. Which guidance is important for the nurse to provide to the laboring client?

A. The supine position, which is commonly used in the United States, increases blood flow. B. The laboring client positioned on her hands and knees (all fours position) is hard on the woman's back. C. Frequent changes in position help relieve fatigue and increase the comfort of the laboring client. D.

Question 3 of 5

What is the nurse's understanding of the appropriate role of primary and secondary powers?

A. Primary powers are responsible for the effacement and dilation of the cervix. B. Effacement is generally well ahead of dilation in women giving birth for the first time; they are closer together in subsequent pregnancies. C. Scarring of the cervix caused by a previous infection or surgery may make the delivery a bit more painful, but it should not slow or inhibit dilation. D. Pushing in the second stage of labor is more effective if the woman can breathe deeply and control some of her involuntary needs to push, as the nurse directs.

Question 4 of 5

Which statement is the best rationale for assessing the maternal vital signs between uterine contractions?

A. During a contraction, assessing the fetal heart rate is the priority. B. Maternal circulating blood volume temporarily increases during contractions. C. Maternal blood flow to the heart is reduced during contractions. D. Vital signs taken during contractions are not accurate.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: During uterine contractions, blood flow to the placenta temporarily stops, causing a relative increase in the mother's blood volume, which, in turn, temporarily increases blood pressure and slows the pulse. Monitoring fetal responses to the contractions is important; however, this question concerns the maternal vital signs. Maternal blood flow is increased during a contraction. Vital signs are altered by contractions but are considered accurate for that period.

Question 5 of 5

Nurses can help their clients by keeping them informed about the distinctive stages of labor. Which description of the phases of the first stage of labor is accurate?

A. Latent: Mild, regular contractions; no dilation; bloody show; duration of 2 to 4 hours B. Active: Moderate, regular contractions; 4- to 7-cm dilation; duration of 3 to 6 hours C. Lull: No contractions; dilation stable; duration of 20 to 60 minutes D. Transition: Very strong but irregular contractions; 8- to 10-cm dilation; duration of 1 to 2 hours
