Correct Answer is D

Explanation

The correct answer is choice D.

Choice A rationale:

Cervix dilation of 5 cm with 50% effacement is a sign of active phase of the first stage of labor, not the end of it.

Choice B rationale:

Rupturing of fetal membranes can occur at any time during labor, not specifically at the end of the first stage.

Choice C rationale:

Start of regular contractions is a sign of the onset of labor, not the end of the first stage.

Choice D rationale:

Cervix dilation of 10 cm with 100% effacement indicates the end of the first stage of labor and the beginning of the second stage.

A. Urinary tract infection. B. Trauma to pelvic muscles. C. Urinary overflow. D. Postpartum diuresis.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

The correct answer is choice D.

Choice A rationale:

While a urinary tract infection can cause frequent urination, it’s usually accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or burning during urination.

Choice B rationale:

Trauma to pelvic muscles can cause urinary incontinence, not necessarily increased frequency.

Choice C rationale:

Urinary overflow is a condition where the bladder is always full and can lead to frequent leakage of urine.

Choice D rationale:

Postpartum diuresis is the body’s way of getting rid of excess fluid accumulated during pregnancy, leading to increased urine production and frequency.
