Answer to Question 1

3
1. Incorrect. In the nulliparous woman, a prolonged latent phase typically is more than 20 hours.
2. Incorrect. In a protracted active phase, the first or second stage of labor would be pro-longed (slow dilation).
3. Correct. With an arrest of active phase, progress of labor has stopped. This patient has not made any anticipated cervical change indicating an arrest of labor.
4. Incorrect. With protracted descent, the fetus fails to descend at an anticipated rate during the deceleration phase and second stage of labor.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 5

Those that may be administered during pregnancy include tetanus, diphtheria, recombinant hepatitis B, and rabies vaccines.
3, 4. Incorrect. Immunization with live or attenuated viruses is contraindicated during pregnancy because of its potential teratogenicity. Live-virus vaccines include those for measles (rubeola and rubella), chickenpox, and mumps.
