A 20-year-old gravida 1, para 0, is determined to be at 42 weeks' gestation on admission to the labor and birth unit. The client is not in labor at the current time but has been sent over by her physician to be admitted for the induction of labor.
 
  The client indicates to you that she would rather go home and wait for natural labor to start. How should the nurse respond to the client's request?
 
  a. There is no way to tell if any complications would arise. Because the client is not presenting with any problems, the nurse should call the health care provider and inform her or him of the client's decision to go home and wait.
  b. Inform the client that there are a number of serious concerns related to a postdate pregnancy and that she would be better off to be monitored in a clinical setting.
  c. Tell the client that an assessment will be done and if there are no findings indicating that an induction of labor would be favorable, the client will be sent home.
  d. Tell the client that confirmation of a due date can be off by 2 weeks and possibly be even later than 42 weeks, so it is better to follow the physician's directions.
