False
--Stay or go? Drink fluids and walk around to see if there is any change in the
intensity of the contractions, if the contractions diminish in intensity after either or
both – stay home
--Any change in activity: Contractions may stop or slow down with walking and
positional change

signs:
True
--Contraction discomfort: starts in the back and radiates around towards the front of
the abdomen
--Any change in activity: Contractions continue no matter what positional change is
made

The second letter represents the particular presenting part of the fetus: O for
Fetal position is indicated by a three-letter occiput, S for sacrum (buttocks), M for mentum (chin), A for acromion process, and D
abbreviation. Which of the following for dorsal (refers to the fetal back) when denoting the fetal position in shoulder

that apply.
The third letter defines the location of the presenting part in relation to the anterior

assessed according to which of the
following three parameters? Select all that
apply.
During labor which of the Kneeling
followingremoves pressure on the maternal
vena cava and helps to rotate the fetus
from a posterior position to an anterior one
to facilitate birth
