Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in labor and reports increasing rectal pressure. They are experiencing contractions 2 to 3 min apart, each lasting 80 to 90 seconds, and a vaginal examination reveals that their cervix is dilated to 9 cm. The nurse should identify that the client is in which of the following phases of labor?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Active phase. At 9 cm dilation, the client is in the active phase of the first stage of labor. During this phase, contractions are strong and frequent, with the cervix dilating from 6 to 10 cm. The client may experience rectal pressure due to the baby descending. In the passive descent phase (choice
A), the cervix is not fully dilated. Early phase (choice
C) is typically from 0 to 6 cm dilation. Descent (choice
D) is not a specific phase of labor. Other choices are not applicable in this context.
