Answer to Question 1

2,4,5
Rationale 1: Oxytocin is not used at this time. It may be used later if stripping of membranes is not effective.
Rationale 2: This motion separates the amniotic membranes that are lying against the lower uterine segment and internal os from the distal part of the lower uterine segment.
Rationale 3: The procedure does produce discomfort, and is not 100 effective.
Rationale 4: If labor is initiated, it typically begins within 2448 hours.
Rationale 5: Uterine contractions, cramping, and bloody discharge can occur after the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: This is an expected finding, and does not require intervention.
Rationale 2: By 6 weeks postpartum, lochia should be absent or minimal in amount, requiring only a pantiliner. Red, heavy flow is not an expected finding, and requires intervention.
Rationale 3: This is an expected finding, and does not require intervention.
Rationale 4: This is an appropriate time frame for restarting birth control pills, and does not require intervention.
