Question 2

Concerning the procedures and criteria for a woman's admission to the hospital labor unit, nurses should be aware that:

1. she is not considered to be in true labor (according to EMTALA) until a qualified health care provider says she is.
2. she can have only her male partner or predesignated doula with her at assessment.
3. her weight gain is calculated to determine whether she is at greater risk for ce-phalopelvic disproportion and cesarean birth.
4. the nurse should listen politely to the woman's previous birthing experiences but realize each birth is a unique experience.

Answer to Question 2

1. Incorrect. According to EMTALA, a woman is entitled to active labor care and is pre-sumed to be in true labor until a qualified health care provider certifies otherwise.
2. Incorrect. A woman can have anyone she wishes present for her support.
3. Correct. The risk is especially great for petite women or those who have gained 16 kg or more.
4. Incorrect. The details of previous birthing experiences are important-not only the me-chanics of labor and the outcome, but also the woman's perceptions that could influence her present attitude.
