Question 1 of 5
The nurse reviews information and assesses the laboring client at 42 weeks’ gestation before an HCP induces labor. Which findings should be reported to the HCP because they are contraindications to labor induction? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: Inducing labor with an umbilical cord prolapsed can cause fetal trauma and is contraindicated. This should be reported to the HCP. Inducing labor with a transverse fetal lie can produce trauma to the fetus and mother and is contraindicated. This should be reported to the HCP. Women with a previous cesarean incision should not be stimulated because it is a contraindication for a vaginal birth and warrants an immediate repeat cesarean birth. This should be reported to the HCP. Lack of progressive cervical dilation is an indication for labor induction, not a contraindication. Premature rupture of the membranes is an indication for labor induction, not a contraindication.
