A client reports awaking from sleep by contractions that are occurring every five minutes and

Vaginal discharge of blood or fluid may indicate cervical dilation, and potentially rupture of
membranes. False labor is characterized by painless, irregular, and intermittent contractions that
decrease in frequency, duration, and intensity with walking or position changes. Contractions are
felt in the lower back or above the umbilicus and often stop with comfort measures (like oral
hydration). There is usually no vaginal discharge with false labor.
False labor is characterized by painless, irregular, and intermittent contractions that decrease in
frequency, duration, and intensity with walking or position changes.
Telling the client to walk is not a correct response because it is an intervention rather than an
assessment question.
