A client who is 80% effaced and 8 cm dilated is in active labor and at risk for postpartum hemorrhage.
Choice A is not an answer because ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus and is not a risk for a client who is in active labor.
Choice C is not an answer because an incompetent cervix refers to a cervix that dilates prematurely during pregnancy and is not a risk for a client who is in active labor.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A nurse caring for a newborn who has exstrophy of the bladder should cover the newborn’s bladder with a sterile, non-adherent dressing prior to the beginning of surgical correction.

the newborn’s bladder with sterile gauze.
