Through vaginal examination the nurse determines that a woman is 4 cm dilated, and the external fetal monitor shows uterine contractions every 3 to 4 minutes. The nurse would report this as:
 
  a. First stage, latent phase.
  b. First stage, active phase.
  c. First stage, transition phase.
  d. Second stage, latent phase.

Question 2

A child has cancer, and has been treated with chemotherapy. The latest lab value indicates the white blood cell count is very low. The nurse would expect to administer:

  2. Ondansetron (Zofran).
  3. Oprelvekin (Neumega).
  4. Epoetin (human recombinant erythropoietin).

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.
