Extract:
A client at 7 cm cervical dilation, 100% effaced, fetus at 1 station, intact amniotic membranes, urge to push
Question 4 of 5
In which stage and phase of labor is the client who is at 7 cm of cervical dilation and 100% effacement, with the fetus at 1 station and intact amniotic membranes, and reporting the urge to push?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The first stage of labor includes latent (0-5 cm) and active (6-10 cm) phases. At 7 cm dilation with 100% effacement and an urge to push, the client is in the active phase of the first stage. The second stage begins at 10 cm dilation.
Extract:
A 32-year-old woman, 4 cm dilated, roomy pelvis, baby in ROA position at +1 station, contractions every 10 minutes, 30-40 seconds, mild intensity
Question 5 of 5
A 32-year-old woman is dilated 4 cm. The health care provider states that she has a roomy pelvis and the baby is in a right occiput anterior (ROA) position at +1 station. Her contractions are occurring every 10 minutes, lasting 30 to 40 seconds, and palpate mild in intensity. She is calm and relaxed. Given these data, which essential component of labor is unexpected and likely to slow the progress of labor at this time?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The 'powers' (uterine contractions) are infrequent, short, and mild, which may slow labor progression. The passageway (roomy pelvis), psyche (calm), and passenger (optimal position) are favorable.
