A client diagnosed with gestational diabetes has been admitted for induction of labor at 38 weeks. The client asks the nurse, "My previous labors started on their own. How will this induction of labor be different from my last labor" Upon which theory would the nurse base her response
A. An induction causes the contractions to be more intense during the first stage of labor.
B. The risk of uterine rupture is less because the oxytocin (Pitocin) is controlled with an infusion pump.
C. The goal of induction is to produce a contractile pattern similar to that observed in spontaneous labor.
D. During an induction, fetal monitoring begins as soon as oxytocin is started, whereas in a spontaneous labor, monitoring begins when signs of distress occur.
