The nurse is receiving reports about four pregnant women in active labor who have been admitted to the labor and delivery unit. Which of the following women should the nurse see FIRST?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The multipara at 8 cm dilatation is in advanced labor and likely to deliver soon, making her the priority. Options A, C, and D are less urgent: transverse lie needs monitoring, nullipara at 10 cm has a longer second stage, and breech at 3 cm is early.
