Extract:
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is multigravid and in active labor with 7 cm of cervical dilation and 100% effacement. The fetus is at +1 station, and the client's amniotic membranes are intact. The client suddenly states that she needs to push.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is the appropriate nursing response?

A nurse is collecting data from a client who is postpartum.
Question 2 of 5
