<u>Answer:</u>

A laboring woman abruptly stops her previous breathing techniques during a contraction and makes low-pitched grunting sounds. The priority nursing action is to "look at her perineum".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The perineum is the  erogenous zone, diamond-shaped area and space between the male's anus and scrotum, and between the female's anus and vulva. The perineum stretches enormously during childbirth to encourage the mother to force the baby out. It may results in a perineal tear, which can be difficult to stitch back and heal.

During childbirth, a doctor or midwife may sometimes need to make a cut in the region between the vagina and anus (the perineum) process termed as episiotomy which makes the vagina opening a little wider and easier for the baby to pass through it.

When a laboring woman abruptly stops her previous breathing techniques during a contraction and makes low-pitched grunting sounds than priority nursing action is to check out perineum as the body must have delivered out a child.

What is one of the warning signs in this situation that
adoni [48]

Answer:

You didn't seem to add who Alison is, but the answers give me enough to say which answer is correct.

Of course, there is a very large difference between feeling down and having a serious problem.

Not wanting to go back to school after summer break is completely natural and makes sense, it is just feeling down.

Feeling different from your friends is an issue that people often say isn't that bad, but it is, though rarely requires medical help.

Hearing voices is something that does require medical/professional help. This has a very high chance of being due to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and sometimes things such as lack of sleep, drug use, or extreme hunger. Hearing voices is the answer. These issues are serious mental health issues that will definitely need professional help.
