Passage / Scenario
A nurse is admitting a client to the birthing unit who started having contractions an hour ago. The nurse determines the client is 80% effaced and 8 cm dilated.What condition is the client at risk for?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Rapid labor progress (80% effaced, 8 cm dilated in 1 hour) increases postpartum hemorrhage risk due to potential uterine atony. Other conditions aren't relevant at this stage.
