Problem: A 36-year-old patient presents to the labor and delivery unit reporting contractions every 2 to 3 minutes for the past hour. The patient denies leaking any fluid but has noted a small amount of bloody mucus. The nurse learns from the prenatal record that the patient is 38 weeks pregnant and does not have placenta previa. The record also indicates that the patient's most recent labor lasted approximately 4 hours. The nurse applies the external fetal monitor components and notes the characteristics of a Category I (normal) fetal heart rate pattern. The nurse then considers whether to perform an SVE. Based on the available information, why would performing an SVE be appropriate or inappropriate? Need Professional Help?
