Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5
Explanation: 1. A Fear/Anxiety diagnosis would apply to the first stage of labor for a first-time labor client.
3. Contractions become more regular in frequency and duration, increasing discomfort and pain.
5. The woman and her boyfriend are about to undergo one of the most meaningful and stressful events in life together. Physical and psychologic resources, coping mechanisms, and support systems will all be challenged.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: In the active phase, the woman dilates from 4 to 7 centimeters.
Rationale 2: The latent phase is the beginning of labor contractions.
Rationale 3: The transition phase begins with 8 cm of dilatation, and is characterized by contractions that are closer together and more intense.
Rationale 4: There is no fourth phase. The fourth stage occurs after delivery of the placenta.
