The Nurse Knows That a Urinary Catheter Is Added to the Instrument

The nurse knows that a urinary catheter is added to the instrument table if a forceps-assisted birth is anticipated. The correct rationale for this intervention is that:

A) a sterile urine specimen is needed preoperatively.
B) an empty bladder provides more room in the pelvis.
C) spontaneous release of urine might contaminate the sterile field.
D) a Foley catheter prevents the membranes from spontaneously rupturing.
