Extract:
A nurse is admitting a client to the birthing unit who started having contractions an hour ago. The nurse determines the client is 80% effaced and 8 cm dilated.
Question 1 of 5
What condition is the client at risk for?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rapid labor progress (80% effaced, 8 cm dilated in 1 hour) increases postpartum hemorrhage risk due to potential uterine atony. Other conditions aren't relevant at this stage.

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following Questions should the nurse ask to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The hands-and-knees position is used to reduce back labor in occipitoposterior positioning, so asking about back labor improvement evaluates effectiveness. Other options aren't specific to this intervention.
