Question 5 of 5
Which stage of labor is characterized by the delivery of the placenta?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Third stage. This stage follows the delivery of the baby and involves the expulsion of the placenta from the uterus. It typically lasts around 5-30 minutes. The first stage (
A) is characterized by the onset of labor contractions, the second stage (
B) is when the baby is delivered, and the fourth stage (
D) is the immediate postpartum period. Option E, F, and G are not relevant to the stages of labor.
Therefore, C is the correct answer as it specifically addresses the delivery of the placenta in the labor process.
