The midwife performs a vaginal exam and determines that the fetal head is at a ?2 station. As the nurse, you know that birth:
1. Is imminent.
2. Is likely to occur in 1–2 hours.
3. Will occur later in the shift.
4. Is difficult to predict.
4
Rationale:
1. For birth to be imminent, the head more likely would be at 12 station.
2. −2 station means that the fetus is 2 cm above the ischial spines. With the infant's head that high in the pelvis, it is difficult to predict when birth will occur.
3. −2 station means that the fetus is 2 cm above the ischial spines. With the infant's head that high in the pelvis, it is difficult to predict when birth will occur.
4. −2 station means that the fetus is 2 cm above the ischial spines. With the infant's head that high in the pelvis, it is difficult to predict when birth will occur.
