Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conducting a cervical examination in a woman with premature rupture of membranes can increase the risk of infection and should only be done by a healthcare provider who is trained to do so. The graduate nurse needs guidance and supervision to ensure safe and appropriate care for the patient. Fetal monitoring, vital signs, and providing support and education are all appropriate tasks for the graduate nurse to perform under the guidance of an experienced nurse or provider.
