An Apgar score of 5 points at 1 minute does not require immediate and aggressive interventions for survival.

Choice C rationale:

A 1-minute Apgar score of 5 points indicates that the infant is experiencing moderate difficulty in adjusting to extrauterine life.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The correct answer is choice B.

Choice A rationale:

Abdominal pain with scant red vaginal bleeding is more indicative of placental abruption, not placenta previa.

Choice B rationale:

Painless red vaginal bleeding is a classic sign of placenta previa. This happens because the placenta is covering the cervix, which can lead to bleeding.

Choice C rationale:

Increasing abdominal pain with a nonrelaxed uterus is more indicative of a condition like uterine rupture or labor, not placenta previa.

Choice D rationale:

Intermittent abdominal pain following the passage of bloody mucus is more likely a sign of labor, not placenta previa.

A. Begins with the time of full cervical dilation (dilatation) and ends with the delivery of the fetus. B. Begins with the time of placental delivery and ends 48 hours later. C. Begins with the time of placental delivery and ends when the health care provider is satisfied that there are no placental fragments. D. Begins with the time of delivery of the fetus and ends with the time of the delivery of the placenta.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

The correct answer is choice D.

Choice A rationale:

This statement describes the second stage of labor, not the third. The second stage begins with full cervical dilation and ends with the delivery of the fetus.

Choice B rationale:

The third stage of labor does not end 48 hours after the delivery of the placenta. This choice is incorrect.

Choice C rationale:

While it’s important to ensure no placental fragments remain, the third stage of labor technically ends with the delivery of the placenta, not at this later point.

Choice D rationale:

This is the correct definition of the third stage of labor. It begins with the delivery of the fetus and ends with the delivery of the placenta.
