Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
On the Bishop's scoring system, an anterior cervix = 2 points, soft cervix = 2 points, 70 effaced = 2 points, 2 cm dilated = 1 point, and 0 station = 2 points, for a total score of 9.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A serial induction looks at a progressive treatment plan that is based on the best outcome, that of a successful birth. Because the Bishop's score is 7, this indicates that certain conditions are not favorable for an induction. Therefore, the use of mechanical methods for cervical ripening maybe warranted. A serial induction is typically done over a 3-day period in which cervical ripening is followed by 2 days of Pitocin infusion, and on the last day an amniotomy is performed in conjunction with the infusion.
