1) A client is admitted to the labor and delivery unit with contractions that are 3-5 minutes
apart, lasting 60-70 seconds. She reports that she is leaking fluid. A vaginal exam reveals that
her cervix is 80 percent effaced and 4 cm dilated and a -1 station. The LPN/LVN knows that the
client is in which phase and stage of labor?
A) Latent phase, First Stage
B) Active Phase of First Stage
C) Latent phase of Second Stage
D) Transition
Ans:
B) Active Phase of First Stage Second stage
= full dilation until birth
2) To assess uterine contractions the LPN/LVN would
A) Asses duration from the beginning of the contraction to the peak of the same
contraction, frequency by measuring the time between the beginning of one
contraction to the beginning of the next contraction.
B) Assess frequency as the time between the end of one contraction and the beginning
of the next contraction, duration as the length of time from the beginning to the end of contractions, and
palpate the uterus for strength
C) Assess duration from beginning to end of each contraction. Assess the strength of
the contraction by the external fetal monitor reading. Measure frequency by measuring
the beginning of one contraction to another.
D) Assess duration from beginning to end of each contraction., frequency by
measuring the time between the beginnings of

between the beginnings of contractions, and palpate the fundus of the uterus for strength.
3) Which basic type of pelvis includes the correct description and percentage of occurrence in women?
A) Platypelloid: flattened, wide, shallow; 3%
B) Anthropoid: resembling the ape; narrower; 10%
C) Android: resembling the male; wider oval; 15%
D) Gynecoid: classic female; heart shaped; 75% Ans:

descent?
A) Lithotomy
B) Walking
C) Kneeling
D) Sitting
Ans:

:: The 5 P's are:
1. Powers (contractions)
2. Passengers (fetus & placenta)
3. Passageway (birth canal)
4. Position (of the mother)
5. Psychological Response
6) While evaluating an external monitor tracing of a woman in active labor, the nurse notes
that the fetal heart rate (FHR) for five sequential contractions begins to decelerate late in the
contraction, with the nadir of the decelerations occurring after the peak of the contraction.
The
LPN/LVN first priority is to:
A) Notify the care provider.
B) Assist with amnioinfusion
C) Change the woman's position
D) Insert a scalp electrode. Ans:
C) Change the woman's position
7) During labor a fetus with an average heart rate of 175 beats/min over a 15-minute
period would be considered to have:
A) A normal baseline heart rate.
B) Bradycardia.
C) Hypoxia.
D) Tachycardia .
Ans:
D) Tachycardia.
