Question

A prolonged latent phase for a multipara is .... and for a nullipara is .... Multiparas' average cervical dilatation is .... cm/hr in the active phase, and nulliparas' average cervical dilatation is ..... cm/hr in the active phase.

A) 12 hours, 6 hours, 1 cm/hr, 1.5 cm/hr
B) 6 hours, 12 hours, 1.5 cm/hr, 1 cm/hr
C) 18 hours, 8 hours, 0.5 cm/hr, 2 cm/hr
D) 8 hours, 18 hours, 2 cm/hr, 0.5 cm/hr

Answer 1

The prolonged latent phase for a multipara is 6 hours, and for a nullipara is 12 hours. Multiparas' average cervical dilatation is 1.5 cm/hr in the active phase, and nulliparas' average cervical dilatation is 1 cm/hr in the active phase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prolonged latent phase for a multipara is 6 hours, and for a nullipara is 12 hours. Multiparas' average cervical dilatation is 1.5 cm/hr in the active phase, and nulliparas' average cervical dilatation is 1 cm/hr in the active phase. So the correct answer is option B) 6 hours, 12 hours, 1.5 cm/hr, 1 cm/hr.
