Answer to Question 1

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

Answer to Question 2

1

1. As a result of the introspection that develops, pregnant women often will seek spiritual guidance from their preferred spiritual leader. The nurse has a professional responsibility to promote clients' spiritual well-being.
