A woman is admitted in an advanced stage of labor and is experiencing strong contractions. The nurse needs to collect information on the woman's social and demographic history.
 
  However, the nurse recognizes that it is not appropriate to conduct an in-depth health history at this time. Which assessment questions would be priority at this time? (Select all that apply.) a. Is there a language barrier?
  b. Does she avoid eye contact?
  c. How much rest has she had lately?
  d. Is her partner employed full time?
  e. Is the woman able to ask for what she needs?
  f. Does she talk freely with the nurse and her partner?

Question 2

The interval between the birth of the newborn and the return of the reproductive organs to their normal nonpregnant state is called the:
 
  a. Involutionary period because of what happens to the uterus.
  b. Lochia period because of the nature of the vaginal discharge.
  c. Mini-tri period because it lasts only 3 to 6 weeks.
  d. Puerperium, or fourth trimester of pregnancy.

Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E, F
Because the woman is in an advanced stage of labor, the priority questions would include whether there is a language barrier; does she avoid eye contact; how much rest has she had lately; is the woman able to ask for what she needs; and does she talk freely with the nurse and her partner? Knowing whether her partner is employed full time is not a priority at this time.

Answer to Question 2

D
