The nurse is caring for a patient at 30 weeks' gestation who is experiencing preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Which statement indicates that the patient needs additional teaching? "If I:
1. "Were having a singleton pregnancy instead of twins, my membranes would probably not have ruptured."
2. "Develop a urinary tract infection in my next pregnancy, I might rupture membranes early again."
3. "Want to become pregnant again, I will have to plan on being on bed rest for the whole pregnancy."
4. "Have bleeding in the third trimester of my next pregnancy, I might rupture membranes again."
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Multifetal gestation increases the risk for PPROM.
Rationale 2: A UTI increases the risk for PPROM.
Rationale 3: There is no evidence indicating that bed rest in a subsequent pregnancy decreases the risk for PPROM.
Rationale 4: Second- and third-trimester bleeding increases the risk for PPROM.
