Rationale 1: Artificial rupture of the membranes increases the incidence of chorioamnionitis. Group B strep negative findings yesterday decrease the risk of infection. Artificial rupture of the membranes is appropriate for this patient.
Rationale 2: Artificial rupture of the membranes increases the incidence of perinatal transmission of hepatitis B. This patient is negative for hepatitis B; therefore, artificial rupture of the membranes is appropriate for this patient.
Rationale 3: Artificial rupture of the membranes increases the incidence of perinatal transmission of HIV, and should not be undertaken in HIV/AIDS-positive women.
Rationale 4: A history of genital herpes does not indicate that the patient is currently experiencing an outbreak. Artificial rupture of the membranes is appropriate for this patient.
