admission to the hospital in the latent phase of labor may result in
an increased rate of intrapartum interventions
according to Friedman, active labor begins when the
rate of dilation changes abruptly
you are caring for michelle, G1Po in active labor. At 1600 her cervical exam is
7xm/100%/ 0 station. 2 hours later her VE reveals 8cm/100%/+1. according to
Friedman's criteria, her labor progress is
protracted
same as above with michelle, but contemporary research says her labor progress
is
normal 0.5cm/hr
what was the outcome for most women dx with a 2* arrest of dilation in F's
research
vaginal birth without intervention
researchers have found the following maternal outcomes to be associated with a

2nd stage - Friedman defines 2nd stage based on cervical dilation alone.
same as above, but nicki begins to bear down with each ctx. and hour later she is
10/100/+2. according to F her labor progress is
NORMAL, at least 2cm/hr descent for a multip.
Diagnosis of false labor can only be made
in retrospect, after ctx stop; it is impossible to distinguish false labor from latent phase
labor while it's occuring.
possible strategies used for coping with latent labor at home include
cont with normal activities during the day without overexertion; using distractions such
as shopping, walking, movies, games; resting at night even if unable to sleep
priorities in management of normal latent phase labor include
