  2. Keep the patient on bed rest at this time.
  3. Apply an internal fetal scalp electrode.
  4. Obtain a clean-catch urine specimen.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: It is unknown from the given information whether it is culturally appropriate for the patient's husband to remain in the room for the labor and birth.
Rationale 2: Because the membranes are ruptured and the head is high in the pelvis at a -2 station, the patient should be maintained on bed rest to prevent cord prolapse.
Rationale 3: An internal fetal scalp electrode is placed when there are signs of fetal intolerance of labor. This patient has normal fetal heart tones and clear amniotic fluid; no signs of fetal intolerance of labor are present.
Rationale 4: A clean-catch urine specimen is usually obtained upon admission, but amniotic fluid contamination might falsely increase the reading of protein present.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Douching after intercourse is not advisable, as it can force bacteria into the uterus.
Rationale 2: Douching is not advisable, as it can force bacteria and foreign substances onto the uterus.
Rationale 3: There is no reason to douche before intercourse. The sperm need the natural pH of the vagina in order to travel where they need to go.
Rationale 4: This is a true statement. The vagina has a natural cleansing system.
