Exhibits

Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices below to specify what condition the client is most likely experiencing, two actions the nurse should take to address that condition, and two parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client’s progress.

Answer and Explanation

Explanation

The client is most likely experiencing Normal labor progression. The retraction of the fetal head against the maternal perineum, regular and progressing contractions, and full dilation of the cervix are all signs of normal labor progression.
Actions: The nurse should:
1. Encourage the client to push during contractions. This will help the baby move down the birth canal.
2. Monitor fetal heart rate. This is crucial to ensure the baby is not in distress.

Parameters: The nurse should monitor:
1. Frequency of contractions. This will help assess the progress of labor.
2. Fetal heart rate. Any abnormalities could indicate fetal distress, which would require immediate medical attention.
