The nurse teaches a pregnant client what to do if the membranes rupture at home. Which statement by the client shows that the teaching was effective?

  1. I will wait until my contractions are five minutes apart before I tell my provider.
  2. I will note the time, color, amount, and odor of the fluid and call my provider right away.
  3. I will only call my provider if the fluid has a strong odor.
  4. I will call my provider only if the fluid is not clear.
Show answer

Correct answer: I will note the time, color, amount, and odor of the fluid and call my provider right away.

The client should record time, color, amount, and odor and report at once. Amniotic fluid is clear and has no odor.
