Problem:
The nurse is preparing to perform a cervical examination. In which order would the nurse perform the steps of the procedure? Place the options in the correct order. All options must be used. Introduce index and middle fingers of dominant hand into the vagina. Inspect the labia using the nondominant hand. Position the patient on her back with knees flexed. Touch the cervix and determine effacement and dilation. Apply sterile gloves and place a drop of lubricant on the dominant hand.
