Final answer:
The statement is true; the mother's status changes to "Delivered" upon the admission of the newborn. The admission, discharge, and transfer (ADT) process in labor and delivery reflects the different stages of childbirth.
Step-by-step explanation:
True or False: When you admit a newborn, the mother's ADT L&D status changes to "Delivered". This statement is true. ADT stands for Admission, Discharge, and Transfer. In the context of labor and delivery (L&D), when a newborn is admitted post-birth, the mother's status in the hospital information system typically updates to "Delivered" to reflect the completion of the childbirth process.The stages of childbirth, as per Figure 28.21, can be broken down into Stage 1: early cervical dilation; Stage 2: full dilation and expulsion of the newborn; and Stage 3: delivery of the placenta and associated fetal membranes. In the case of Janine, who is 41 weeks pregnant and only 2 cm dilated, an IV infusion of pitocin is started to induce labor, as she is past her due date, and labor has not progressed naturally.
