Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A laminaria tent is a hydroscopic cervical dilator made of seaweed, which swells as it absorbs moisture. Hydroscopic dilators remain in place for 6 to 12 hours, after which time they are removed and the woman is assessed for cervical dilation. The other interventions are not specific to this type of dilator.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
After Cervidil administration, contractions usually begin within 5 to 7 hours. If further augmentation is needed with oxytocin, it can be administered 30 to 60 minutes after the dinoprostone vaginal insert is removed.
