Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

Choice B rationale:

0 station means the baby’s head is at the level of the ischial spines, which typically indicates the beginning of active labor.

Choice C rationale:

Crowning refers to when the baby’s head is visible at the vaginal opening, which occurs later in labor.

Choice D rationale:

+2 station means the baby’s head is 2 cm below the ischial spines. This typically occurs later in labor.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Transient fetal hypoxia is not typically associated with cloudy amniotic fluid. It’s a condition where the fetus doesn’t get enough oxygen.

Choice B rationale:

Normal amniotic fluid is clear or light yellow. Cloudy amniotic fluid is not considered normal.

Choice C rationale:

Cloudy amniotic fluid could indicate a possible infection. The cloudiness can be due to the presence of bacteria and inflammatory cells.

Choice D rationale:

Meconium passage can cause the amniotic fluid to become green or brown, not typically cloudy. So, the correct answer for both questions 26 and 27 is C.

A. "Time isn't important; your health and the baby's health are key.”. B. "It will depend on how big the baby is when you go into labor.”. C. "It's difficult to predict how your labor will progress, but we'll be there for you the entire time.”. D. "Since this is your first pregnancy, you can estimate it will be about 10 hours.”.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

This statement emphasizes the importance of health over time, which is true. However, it doesn’t directly answer the woman’s question about the duration of labor.

Choice B rationale:

The size of the baby can influence labor duration, but it’s not the only factor. Other factors like the woman’s health, age, and labor progression also matter.

Choice C rationale:

This response is supportive and honest. It acknowledges the unpredictability of labor while assuring the woman of continuous support.

Choice D rationale:

While it’s true that first-time mothers may have longer labors, predicting a specific duration like 10 hours isn’t accurate or helpful.
