Question 1 :
A nurse is caring for a client who has been in labor for 14 hours and has not progressed beyond 4 cm dilation.
The nurse suspects that the client has prolonged labor due to a large baby.
Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
This is the first action the nurse should take to determine the well-being of the baby and the possible cause of the prolonged labor. Prolonged labor may happen if the baby is very big and cannot move through the birth canal, or if the baby is in an abnormal position.
