LC's VE (6/80/-1) indicates which of the following (there are 3 correct choices)?
Active stage of labor.
80% dilated
The fetus is minus 1 cm above the pelvic outlet.
The presenting part is 1cm below the ischial spines.
Correct Answer : C,E,F
A. The active stage of labor typically begins when cervical dilation is around 4 cm. LC’s dilation of 6 cm suggests that she is already in the active phase, but this is not confirmed based on this vaginal exam alone.
B. LC is not 80% dilated; the figure 6/80/-1 indicates 6 cm dilation, 80% effaced, and -1 station (fetal head is still above the ischial spines).
C. The fetal station of -1 indicates that the presenting part (head) is 1 cm above the pelvic outlet, which is consistent with this description.
D. The presenting part being 1 cm below the ischial spines would indicate a station of +1, which is not described here.
E. The cervix is 80% effaced, meaning it is more than halfway thinned, which is correct.
F. With a dilation of 6 cm, LC is in the active phase of labor, not the latent phase, but the question refers to the latent phase for comparison.

Applying identification bracelets is necessary to ensure proper identification but is not as critical as ensuring the baby is warm and breathing. Teaching the mother cord care can be done after addressing more immediate concerns such as warmth and identification.
