Question

Using the Maternal Fetal Triage Index, triage the following clients in order from 1 to 5, with 1 being the highest priority and 5 being the lowest:

  • A G1P0 mother has labored for 20 hours and has only progressed to 3 cm. HCP determines it is a cephalopelvic disproportion and prescribes a cesarean birth.
  • A primigravida has been laboring without complications, but calls the desk to say her "water broke and something is hanging out down there."
  • A primigravida due in 3 weeks comes to Labor & Delivery after having a bladder infection, and now her labor has started.
  • A G4P3 client arrives in Labor & Delivery saying her HCP diagnosed her with placenta previa and she has been having contractions and spotting.
  • A G2P1 client arrives in Labor & Delivery with her partner and says she is scheduled for an induction because she is 1 1/2 weeks past her due date.
