Answer to Question 1

D
The active phase begins when the cervix is dilated 4 cm and ends when the cervix is dilated 8 cm. The client will focus on breathing techniques and is less receptive to teaching. Nursing interventions would include frequently visualizing the perineum for crowning.

Answer to Question 2

D
Steps to prepare a bag of IV solution for administration include inspecting the fluid for clarity, leaks, tears, cracks, particulate matter, and color, and checking the expiration date.
