A nurse is reviewing the partograph of a client in labor.

The nurse notes that the cervical dilation curve is above the alert line and below the action line.

What does this indicate?

The labor is progressing normally and no intervention is needed

The labor is progressing slowly and close observation is needed

The labor is progressing rapidly and delivery is imminent

The labor is obstructed and immediate intervention is needed.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

This is because the cervical dilation curve is above the alert line and below the action line, which means that the dilation is less than 1 cm per hour. This indicates a possible delay in labor progress and a risk of complications such as fetal distress, infection, or postpartum hemorrhage.

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

Explanation

The nurse should include these instructions in the teaching because:

• Choice B: Using sanitary pads rather than tampons for vaginal bleeding can prevent infection and irritation of the surgical site.

• Choice D: Drinking plenty of fluids and eating foods high in fiber can help prevent constipation, which can strain the abdominal muscles and cause pain.

• Choice E: Reporting any foul-smelling vaginal discharge or fever to the provider can help detect signs of infection, which can be a complication of hysterectomy.

A. Placental abruption B. Umbilical cord prolapse C. Ruptured vasa previa D. Bleeding from the cervix.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

This is a condition where fetal blood vessels that run through the membranes rupture and bleed.

The bleeding is from the fetus, not the mother, and can cause fetal hypoxia and death.

The FHR deceleration indicates fetal distress.

The uterus is soft because there is no uterine bleeding or contraction.

Normal ranges for FHR are 110 to 160 beats per minute.

Normal ranges for uterine contraction frequency are 2 to 5 contractions in 10 minutes.

Normal ranges for uterine contraction duration are 45 to 80 seconds.

Normal ranges for uterine contraction intensity are mild to moderate to palpation
