Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
Intense contractions lasting 45 to 60 seconds are normal during labor.
Choice B rationale:
An urge to have a bowel movement during contractions could indicate that the baby’s head is descending into the birth canal, which may require immediate attention.
Choice C rationale:
A sense of excitement and warm, flushed skin are normal emotional and physiological responses during labor.
Choice D rationale:
Progressive sacral discomfort during contractions is a normal part of labor as the baby descends through the birth canal.

A. Assist the client in pulling their knees toward their abdomen. B. Press firmly on the client's suprapubic area. C. Move the client onto their hands and knees. D. Apply pressure to the client's fundus.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
The McRoberts maneuver involves an obstetrician or other healthcare provider flexing the thighs of a pregnant person toward their abdomen. This maneuver helps to rotate the pelvis and open the sacrum to release the baby’s shoulder.
Choice B rationale:
Applying pressure on the client’s suprapubic area is not part of the McRoberts maneuver. However, when coupled with suprapubic pressure, the effectiveness of the McRoberts maneuver increases to 90%1.
Choice C rationale:
Moving the client onto their hands and knees is not part of the McRoberts maneuver. The maneuver involves pressing the client’s legs against their abdomen.
Choice D rationale:
Applying pressure to the client’s fundus is not part of the McRoberts maneuver. The maneuver involves pressing the client’s legs against their abdomen.
