A nurse midwife induces labor through amniotomy. The amniotic fluid is assessed and the nurse midwife notes that the amniotic fluid is red in color. This finding most likely suggests:

Fetal trauma.
Infection.
A fetal congenital disorder.
Fetal distress.

Explanation

Answer: A - Red amniotic fluid most likely suggests fetal trauma. The characteristics of the amniotic fluid, such as color, odor and quantity of fluid, should be noted after amniotomy. A foul odor suggests infection. Excessive or too little amniotic fluid suggests fetal congenital disorder. Fetal distress may be manifested with green-colored amniotic fluid.
