Jessica is a 29-year-old G1 P0 at 41 4/7 weeks of gestation and is admitted to L&D at 1800 for an induction of labor for a postdate pregnancy. She has no other risk factors. Jessica is dilated 1 cm and is 50% effaced. Her bag of water is intact, and she is experiencing mild and irregular contractions. The plan is to insert 10 mg of dinoprostone (Cervidil) transvaginally to ripen her cervix for 12 hours, then IV oxytocin. The L&D nurse completed an initial interview, documented this information on the electronic medical record, and reviewed Jessica's prenatal record. The nurse is now ready to perform a physical examination.
