Case Study

Your client has been laboring for four hours and was at 3 cm when last checked. Her medical provider would like to check her again. As he starts the procedure, he has the nurse hand him an amniotic hook. You know that your client did not want to have her waters artificially broken and that her medical provider did not talk to her about it previously.
