Stage 3 of labor involves the delivery of the placenta, so interventions include clamping the umbilical cord (A), assisting with the delivery of the placenta (B), and assessing for hemorrhage (D) as a common complication during this stage. Assisting with the delivery of the infant (C) occurs in Stage 2, and monitoring cervical progression (E) is relevant in Stages 1 and 2.
