A nurse is comparing the advantages of active management of labor (AMOL) with a less interventional approach. The nurse knows that the goal of AMOL is:
 
  1. Preventing protracted labor and arrest of progress.
  2. Preventing infection from prolonged rupture of membranes.
  3. Detecting and intervening in cases of precipitous labor.
  4. Relieving the anxiety and fear accompanying labor.

Question 2

The breastfeeding patient asks the nurse about appropriate contraception. The nurse's best response is:
 
  1. Breastfeeding has many effects on sexual intercourse.
  2. IUDs are easy to use and easy to insert prior to sexual intercourse.
  3. It's possible to get pregnant before your menstrual period returns. Let's talk about some different options for contraception.
  4. Breastfeeding hampers ovulation, so no contraception is needed.

3
