Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, F, G
An arterial line and Foley catheter are not needed. The dosage is set according to uterine contractions, not fetal responses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A score of 8 or greater on the Modified Bishop Scoring system means that the client should be able to successfully be induced.
