Vaginal examinations should be performed by the nurse under all of the following circumstances except:
 
  1. an admission to the hospital at start of labor.
  2. when accelerations of the FHR are noted.
  3. on maternal perception of perineal pressure or the urge to bear down.
  4. when membranes rupture.

Question 2

The role of the professional nurse has evolved to emphasize:
 
  1. providing care to patients directly at the bedside.
  2. planning patient care to cover longer hospital stays.
  3. leading the activities of a team of interdisciplinary health care providers.
  4. managing care to cure health problems once they have occurred.
