A woman is 16 weeks pregnant. She has had cramping, backache, and mild bleeding for the past 3 days.

A woman is 16 weeks pregnant. She has had cramping, backache, and mild bleeding for the past 3 days. Her physician determines that her cervix is dilated to 2 centimeters, with 10% effacement, but membranes are still intact. She is crying, and says to the nurse, "Is my baby going to be okay?" In addition to acknowledging the client's fear, the nurse should also say:
A) "You are going to miscarry. But you should be relieved, because most miscarriages are the result of abnormalities in the fetus."
B) "Your baby will be fine. We'll start IV, and get this stopped in no time at all."
C) "I really can't say. However, when your physician comes, I'll ask her to talk to you about it."
D) "Your cervix is beginning to dilate. That is a serious sign. We will continue to monitor you and the baby for now."
