Question 1 of 5

A patient has been diagnosed with an incompetent cervix (the cervix will not remain closed). What treatment option will be incorporated into the plan of care for this patient?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because more frequent ultrasounds are necessary to monitor the progression of the pregnancy in a patient with an incompetent cervix. This allows healthcare providers to assess the cervix's condition and the risk of preterm labor. A: Bed rest is not the primary treatment for an incompetent cervix as it does not address the underlying issue. B: A wait and see approach may lead to missed opportunities for preventive interventions. C: Preparation for cerclage at 32 weeks is too late as cerclage is typically done earlier to provide support to the cervix.
