Correct Answer:
Verity that informed consent is obtained prior to administration.
Rationale:
📄 Dinoprostone (Cervidil) is a prostaglandin used to ripen the cervix and induce labor, and it carries potential maternal and fetal risks such as uterine hyperstimulation, fetal distress, or adverse medication reactions.
📄 Because of these risks, it is ethically and legally required to obtain and verify informed consent before administration of this medication.
📄 Informed consent ensures the client is aware of the purpose, procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives to induction.
📄 This step is part of the nurse’s legal and professional responsibility to advocate for the client's autonomy and protect patient safety.
📄 Failing to obtain and document informed consent may result in legal consequences and violates the client's right to participate in care decisions.
