The pregnant client is admitted to the labor and birth unit for induction of labor. Which finding would allow the induction to continue as planned?
a. Abruptio placentae
b. Cephalopelvic disproportion
c. Ripening of the cervix
d. Umbilical cord prolapse
ANS: C
Procedures to ripen (soften) the cervix and make it more likely to dilate with the forces of labor are a common adjunct to induction. Most are done the day before the scheduled induction. Contraindications associated with induction may include cephalopelvic disproportion and umbilical cord prolapse. A cesarean section is indicated for abruptio placentae.
