Answer to Question 1

B
IV fluids may cause fluids to leave the vascular space, resulting in dehydration. Symptoms include decreased urine output, poor skin turgor, and becoming confused.

The active phase begins when the cervix is dilated 4 cm and ends when the cervix is dilated 8 cm. If the client develops hypotonic uterine contractions, an ultrasound will be prescribed to evaluate the condition.
