Maternal condition Clinical parameters: A. Cervical dilatation, descent of the fetal head, and uterine contraction frequency/duration B. Fetal heart rate, amniotic fluid/liquor appearance, and fetal skull moulding C. Vital signs, urine output and analysis, and administered medications/IV fluids
Answer
1-B, 2-A, 3-C
Explanation
The partograph organizes information into fetal condition, progress, and maternal condition. These domains are complementary: a normal progress graph does not replace fetal or maternal assessment. **Key takeaway:** Use the chart as a combined maternal–fetal–progress tool.\n\n**Glossary:** **FHR**: fetal heart rate; **caput**: swelling of the fetal scalp.
