Answer to Question 1

B
This is an example of ethic of care, because it exemplifies the nurse recognizing the personal concerns and vulnerabilities of clients and responding in a caring, personalized manner. Virtue ethics focus on the personal characteristics of the moral agent or person and the way in which these virtues guide moral action. Holistic ethics is a philosophical perspective that merges the concept of unity and wholeness of all people and nature. Impartial ethics do not take an individualized approach.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. The active phase is characterized by contractions every 23 minutes; there is a sense of fear of loss of control during this phase, but it's not as pronounced as in the transition stage.
2. During the transition phase of labor, contractions have a frequency of about every 1.52 minutes with a duration of 6090 seconds. The woman might become apprehensive and irritable during this stage.
3. The latent phase is characterized by mild contractions progressing from a frequency of 1020 minutes to 57 minutes. In the latent stage, the woman is excited that labor has begun.
4. The second stage is the pushing stage, and the woman might feel relieved that the birth is near and she can push. The second stage is not a phase of labor.
