Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
In the stage I active phase, the woman experiences regular, moderate to strong contractions: frequency 2 to 4 minutes, duration 45 to 60 seconds with dilation 4 to 8 cm. In the stage I latent phase, the woman experiences irregular, mild contractions: frequency 5 to 20 minutes, duration 30 to 50 seconds with dilation 0 to 4 cm. In the stage I transitional phase, the woman experiences regular, very strong contractions: frequency 2 to 3 minutes, duration 60 to 90 seconds with dilation 8 to 10 cm. During stage II, the woman's abdominal muscles and diaphragm join the uterine muscles to push the newborn out of the woman's body. The woman may say she feels pushing pains or a bearing down feeling.
