Which of the following characteristics demonstrate a woman in latent (early) phase of labor? Discussing baby names with the partner, contractions every 5-7 minutes, palpated firm as mild, cervix 3 cm Cervix dilated 7cm, 80% effaced, demanding an epidural for pain Woman states," I can't do this anymore", cervix 9 cm, feels perineal pressure Contractions moderate intensity, occurring every 4-5 minutes, cervix 5 cm, using focused breathing - Discussing baby names with the partner, contractions every 5-7 minutes, palpated firm as mild, cervix 3 cm A client is in active labor and having several repetitive variable decelerations on her external monitor strip.
