Which presentation is least likely to occur with a hypotonic labor pattern?
a. Prolonged labor duration
b. Fetal distress
c. Maternal comfort during labor
d. Irregular labor contraction pattern
ANS: B
A hypotonic labor pattern indicates that uterine contractions are variable in nature and weak and thus do not affect cervical change in a timely manner. Labor patterns are prolonged in duration and clients are typically comfortable but can become easily tired and frustrated because of the inability of their labor to progress to conclusion. The least likely occurrence is that of fetal distress, because the uterine contraction pattern is not coordinated and/or strong enough to exert pressure.
