Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vaginal examinations should be limited after artificial rupture of membranes to decrease the risk of infection. AROM can be used for labor augmentation or to induce labor, so option A is incorrect. Option C is incorrect because women who undergo AROM may still have amniotic fluid present. Option D is incorrect because the FHR should be assessed before AROM is performed to ensure that the fetus is not in distress. After AROM, the FHR should be assessed continuously.
