Question 3 of 5
A nurse on the labor and delivery unit is assessing four clients. Which of the following clients is a candidate for an induction of labor with misoprostol?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Misoprostol is a prostaglandin E1 analog that is commonly used for labor induction. It is particularly useful in clients with a previous uterine incision, such as a cesarean section scar, because it helps soften the cervix and promote uterine contractions, which can lead to successful vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). Misoprostol can be an effective method for inducing labor in these clients while minimizing the risk of uterine rupture. However, it is important to closely monitor clients for signs of uterine hyperstimulation when using misoprostol for labor induction.
