Which nursing assessment indicates that a woman who is in second-stage labor is almost ready to give birth

Select one:

Bulging of the vulva

The membranes rupture during a contraction

The fetal head is felt at 0 station during vaginal examination

Bloody mucus discharge increases

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

a.   Bulging of the vulva: This indicates that the fetal head is descending but does not necessarily mean the woman is almost ready to give birth. This indicates that the fetal head is crowning and putting pressure on the perineum, which means that delivery is imminent.
b.   This indicates that the amniotic sac has ruptured but does not necessarily mean the woman is almost ready to give birth.
c.   The fetal head at 0 station means that it is at the level of the maternal ischial spines, but it still needs to descend further to reach the perineum.
d.   This indicates that the woman is in the early stages of labor but does not necessarily mean she is almost ready to give birth.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

a. Not every woman ovulates on day 14 of her cycle, and the basal temperature only rises after ovulation, not before.
b. The basal temperature is the lowest body temperature during a 24-hour period.

It is usually measured first thing in the morning before any physical activity or eating. The basal temperature can indicate when a woman is ovulating, as it tends to rise slightly (about 0.5°F or 0.3°C) after ovulation and remain elevated until the next menstrual period. By tracking the basal temperature over several cycles, a woman can identify her most fertile days and plan accordingly.
c. Intercourse can affect the body temperature and give a false reading.

d. The basal temperature is influenced by factors such as food, drink, stress, and activity, so it should be measured before any of these occur.

A. Select one: B. Bacterial vaginosis C. Trichomoniasis D. Chlamydia E. Candidiasis
