Concerning the process of the induction of labor, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. ripening the cervix usually results in a decreased success rate of induction.
  2. labor can sometimes be induced with balloon catheters or laminaria tents.
  3. oxytocin is less expensive than prostaglandins and more effective, but creates greater health risks.
  4. amniotomy can be used to make the cervix more favorable to labor.

Question 2

A woman who is 14 weeks pregnant tells the nurse that she always had a glass of wine with dinner before she became pregnant. She has abstained during her first trimester and would like to know if it is safe for her to have a drink with dinner now.
 
  You would tell her: 1. Since you are in your second trimester, there is no problem with having one drink with dinner..
  2. One drink every night is too much. One drink three times a week should be fine..
  3. Since you are in your second trimester, you can drink as much as you'd like..
  4. Because no one knows how much or how little alcohol it takes to cause fetal problems, it is recommended that you abstain throughout your pregnancy..

Answer to Question 1

2
1. Incorrect. Ripening the cervix, making it softer and thinner, increases the success rate of induced labor.
2. Correct. These are mechanical means of ripening the cervix.
3. Incorrect. Prostaglandin E1 is less expensive and more effective than oxytocin but carries a greater risk.
4. Incorrect. Amniotomy is the artificial rupture of membranes, used to induce labor only when the cervix is already ripe.

Answer to Question 2

4
1, 2, 3. Incorrect. A safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy has not yet been estab-lished. Although the consumption of occasional alcoholic beverages may not be harmful to the mother or her developing fetus, complete abstinence is strongly advised.
4. Correct. This is an accurate statement.
