Question
Chapter 27, Problem 16CYR
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether the following statements are true or false:
a. The dilation stage is the time from the onset of labor until the cervix is fully expanded.
b. The placental stage is the time after the delivery of the infant when the placenta and the attached fetal extraembryonic membranes are delivered.
c. The expulsion stage of labor is usually longer than the dilation or placental stages.
Introduction:
The end of pregnancy is marked by childbirth or labor and delivery. Labor is subdivided into three stages, namely the dilation stage, expulsion stage, and the placental stage. Repetitive uterine contractions are a prominent sign of labor.
