Question

To adequately teach patients about the process of labor, the nurse knows that which event is the best indicator of true labor?

Answer 1

The best indicator of true labor is a bloody show.

• There are three steps to the labor process. The first stage begins when labor starts and finishes when the cervical cavity has fully dilated and effaced. The delivery of the fetus marks the conclusion of the second stage, which begins with complete cervical dilatation. The third stage begins after the delivery of the fetus and finishes with the delivery of the placenta. The stages of labor are described in this activity, along with their importance to the interprofessional team managing women in labor.
• Women frequently self-present to obstetrical triage because they are worried about the beginning of labor. Contractions that hurt, vaginal bleeding or a bloody discharge, and vaginal fluid leaks are common primary complaints. The clinician must decide whether the patient is experiencing regular, clinically meaningful contractions, which is a sign that she or he is in labor.

Bloody show is the correct answer.
