Category - Labor, Birth, and Immediate Postpartum

A midwife is managing the care of a G3P2 client. The birthing room is converted into a birth room when the cervix is dilated to:
  1. 5 cm
  2. 5 to 7 cm
  3. 7 to 9 cm
  4. 10 cm
Explanation
Answer: C - The birthing room is converted into a birth room when the client’s cervix is dilated to 7 to 9 cm. The second stage of labor is usually shorter for multipara clients. For primipara clients, this action may be delayed until the head of the fetus has crowned to the size of a quarter, or when the cervix is fully dilated and descent has occurred.
