The primary healthcare provider for a client at 38 1/7 weeks' gestation calls the labor and delivery suite to schedule an induction for the next day. The client is having no medical or pregnancy complications.
Which of the following responses by the nurse would be appropriate?

A.

At what time would you like to begin the induction?

B.

What is the client's Bishop score?

C.

I am sorry but the client will not be able to be induced tomorrow.

D.

I will have the prostaglandin induction medication prepared.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale

Induction timing is secondary to assessing readiness. The Bishop score determines cervical favorability for induction success. 

 

Choice B rationale

The Bishop score assesses cervical readiness for labor induction, which is vital in planning an effective induction.

 

Choice C rationale

Refusal to induce without considering clinical data is inappropriate. The Bishop score evaluation determines readiness.

 

Choice D rationale

Prostaglandin preparation follows Bishop score assessment to ensure induction safety and efficacy.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Dexamethasone does not directly stop labor contractions; instead, it is used to enhance fetal lung maturity.

Choice B rationale

Dexamethasone is not for infection prevention; antibiotics are used for that purpose in cases of premature rupture of membranes.

Choice C rationale

Dexamethasone is administered to enhance fetal lung maturity, reducing the risk of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants.

Choice D rationale

Dexamethasone is not used for pain relief in preterm labor; other medications are prescribed for pain management.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Prolonged labor is not directly linked to drug use and does not present as an immediate complication.

Choice B rationale

Prolapsed cord is not associated with substance abuse and lacks direct connection to this scenario.

Choice C rationale

Cocaine use heightens the risk of abruptio placentae, a serious condition where the placenta detaches prematurely.

Choice D rationale

Retained placenta is a concern but less likely than abruptio placentae in the context of cocaine use.
