Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A Panting helps the client manage the urge to push and prevents premature pushing, which can cause cervical swelling or injury. This technique helps delay pushing until full dilation is achieved, ensuring a safer delivery process.
B. Helping the client into a comfortable position can facilitate labor progress. However, it may not be the most urgent action given the potential imminent delivery.

C. Voiding is a common suggestion during labor, but if the client feels the urge to push, it may be an indication that the baby is descending and delivery is imminent.
D. The client's urge to push indicates that the baby is descending, and birth is imminent. It would not be safe to have the client walk to the bathroom at this stage, as she may deliver the baby during the process, increasing the risk of an unattended birth.

A. Positive Moro reflex B. Cracked, peeling skin C. Abundant lanugo D. Short, soft fingernails E. Abundant vernix

Correct Answer is ["B","E"]

Explanation

Post maturity refers to a pregnancy that extends beyond 42 weeks of gestation. Newborns who are postmature may exhibit certain characteristics due to the prolonged time spent in the uterus.

These include cracked, peeling skin, abundant vernix, overgrown nails, increased scalp hair, decreased subcutaneous fat and deep creases on the palms and soles.
