The nurse is admitting a client at 40 weeks gestation for an induction of labor. The client was seen in the office 1 hour ago and had a Bishop score of 3. Which of the following would the nurse expect to do in preparation for the induction of labor?

Rationale: A. Staying in bed does not facilitate induction; ambulation can sometimes help labor progress. B. Oxytocin is typically started after cervical ripening when the Bishop score is more favorable. C. A Bishop score of 3 indicates an unfavorable cervix; cervical ripening agents like misoprostol are used first to prepare the cervix before oxytocin induction. D. Induction does not guarantee a fast or painless labor; the process can be prolonged and uncomfortable.
