A greenish color suggests the presence of meconium, which may be associated with fetal distress. Blue results with Nitrazine paper, clear, and pale yellow colors are normal characteristics of amniotic fluid.

The first three options do not show acceptance of the woman's behavior, which may be based on her culture. The last option acknowledges and accepts her behavior while offering to meet her needs.
