It is important to discuss the findings with the woman and her partner after any examination to ensure they are informed about the progress of labor and any interventions that may be necessary. Performing an examination once every hour during the active phase of labor is a general guideline but may vary depending on individual circumstances. The examination should be performed with the woman in a position that is comfortable for her, not necessarily in the supine position. Wearing two clean gloves for each examination is standard practice to prevent the introduction of infection.
