Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is a potential complication of a breech delivery?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Birth trauma. In a breech delivery, where the baby is positioned feet or buttocks first, there is an increased risk of birth trauma due to potential difficulties in delivering the baby's head, leading to possible injuries such as fractures or nerve damage. Fetal distress and maternal hemorrhage can also occur but are not exclusive complications of breech delivery.
Choice D, "All of the above," is incorrect as not all potential complications of a breech delivery are listed.
Question 5 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, leading to rapid cervical dilation. The increasing rectal pressure and close contractions indicate active labor.
Choice A: Passive descent - Incorrect. This phase occurs after full dilation and is characterized by fetal descent.
Choice C: Early phase - Incorrect. This phase occurs at the beginning of labor when the cervix is dilating from 0 to 3 cm.
Choice D: Descent - Incorrect. Descent refers to the movement of the fetus through the birth canal, not a specific phase of labor.
