unit due to contractions. Her birth plan indicates that she is
planning natural childbirth without pharmacological interventions.
She has attended childbirth education classes. Desiree is
considered low-risk based on her personal and family health history

cervical dilation at 5 cm, 80% effaced, and -1 station. Her
membranes are intact.
