You have been called for a 27-year-old female who is 32 weeks pregnant. She states that she is experiencing uterine contractions but feels no pain with them, just a tightening in her abdomen. She states that these began three days ago and seem to be increasing in frequency today. She denies discharge or rupture of her membranes. Given this presentation, you should recognize:
A) probable false labor, and should have the patient follow up with her obstetrician. B) probable false labor, but have the patient transported to the hospital for evaluation. C) true labor, so you should assess the vaginal canal for possible crowning. D) possible placental abruption, and immediately must transport with lights and sirens.
Labeling of all medications should occur in the patient's room to prevent errors
