The nurse is caring for a woman in labor who is having contractions every five to seven minutes that last 45 to 50 seconds. Her husband asks if this is transition because his wife is getting restless and irritable and feels pressure. What is the best response for the nurse to make?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Contractions in transition are closer and longer; an RN exam confirms the stage, as symptoms alone are inconclusive.
