Which of the following BEST describes the phrase "cascade of interventions"?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "cascade of interventions" is a phrase meaning a domino-effect that happens when certain birth practices lead to additional interventions with added risks that ultimately change the natural progression of labor. A sudden gush of fluid from the vagina would signal that the amniotic sac has ruptured. While some interventions are necessary for the health of the mother and/or baby, they are not benign and should only be used if medical indication exists. The use of pain medication in labor has its own set of risks, and can be a contributing factor to the "cascade."
