  c. First stage, transition phase.
  d. Second stage, latent phase.

Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A During the latent phase of the first stage of labor, the expected maternal progress would be 0 to 3 cm dilation with contractions every 5 to 30 minutes.
B This maternal progress indicates that the woman is in the active phase of the first stage of labor.
C During the transition phase of the first stage of labor, the expected maternal progress is 8 to 10 cm dilation with contractions every 2 to 3 minutes.
D During the latent phase of the second stage of labor, the woman is completely dilated and experiences a restful period of laboring down.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Filgrastim (Neupogen) increases production of neutrophils by the bone marrow.
2. Ondansetron (Zofran) is an antiemetic.
3. Oprelvekin (Neumega) increases platelets.
4. Epoetin (human recombinant erythropoietin) stimulates red blood cell production.
