1.Michella has been experiencing regular, coordinated contractions with cervical
dilatation moving from 4 to 6 cm in the last half-hour, and her membranes are
still intact. Bobby is in which stage of labor?
(1/1 Point)
Second stage of labor
Latent phase of the second stage of labor
Active phase of the first stage of labor

2.When planning comfort measures to help the woman in active labor tolerate
her pain, the nurse must consider which of the following?
(1/1 Point)
The active phase of labor can be a time of true discomfort and high anxiety
If properly prepared, women will require no pain medication
Pain medication given during the latent phase of labor is not likely to impair contractions
Early labor contractions are usually regular, coordinated, and very painful
3.When timing the length of contraction, the nurse would do which of the
following?
(0/1 Point)
Ask the woman when the beginning of the contraction is felt, then time the interval from this
point until the woman states the contraction has subsided.
Note the upward slopes of the contraction on the monitor graph and measure from one upward
slope to the next upward slope
Gently palpate the abdomen for the beginning of the tightening of the uterus; time the interval
from this point until the uterine tightening subsides
Lightly touch the abdomen and time the interval from the beginning of the uterine tensing to
the beginning of the next tensing
4.Which assessment findings would lead to the nurse to suspect that a pregnant
woman is in the transition phase of the first stage of labor? Select all that apply.
