as quickly as possible.

Answer to Question 2

B
The feeling of a need to have a bowel movement frequently is a signal that the mother is ready to deliver. The nurse should check the status of cervical dilation and effacement. The mother should remain in bed at this time. If the mother is given a bedpan before the nurse examines the cervix for progress, the mother might deliver the fetus in the bedpan.
