Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Feedback
Correct A VBAC delivery should only be attempted with the obstetric provider in
house, and anesthesia along with operative personnel readily available to
perform a cesarean birth.
Incorrect VBAC deliveries may be done in community hospitals if appropriate
policies and guidelines for care are in place. Misoprostol administration is
contraindicated in a patient with a previous uterine scar.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D, E
Feedback
Correct A, C, D, E. These are all acceptable indications for induction. Other
conditions include intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), maternal-fetal
blood incompatibility, hypertension, and placental abruption.
Incorrect B. Elective inductions for convenience of the woman or her provider are
not recommended; however, they have become common. Factors such as
rapid labors and living a long distance from a health care facility may be a
valid reason in such a circumstance.
