Which statement concerning the third stage of labor is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An expectant or active approach to managing the third stage of labor reduces the risk of complications such as postpartum hemorrhage. The placenta should detach itself from a contracted uterus, not a flaccid one. It is important that the shiny fetal surface of the placenta appears before the dark, roughened maternal surface. Rapid heart rate is not a major risk for women during the third stage of labor.
