Question 1 of 5

The nurse explained the process of cervical effacement to the client in early labor. Which statement by the client indicates that she understands the information?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In cervical effacement, the cervix progressively changes from a thick and long structure, to paper thin. This statement indicates that the client understands the information. Widening of the cervix describes cervical dilation, not effacement. Cervical changes will not cause membranes to rupture. The power of contractions causes cervical changes (effacement and dilation) and, possibly, membrane rupture. Cervical changes will not help the fetus to change position. Fetal descent is thought to occur from the pressure of contractions, especially from the fundus, and from the pressure of the amniotic fluid. Fetal position changes also occur from the fetal head and body adjusting to the maternal pelvis as they descend.
