A nurse is reviewing the medical records of four clients who are pregnant and planning to have a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
Which of the following clients has the highest risk of uterine rupture during labor?
A low transverse incision on the uterus is the most common and safest type of incision for a VBAC. It has a low risk of rupture and minimal blood loss.
A client who had a vertical incision on her uterus but a low transverse incision on her skin for her previous cesarean delivery has the highest risk of uterine rupture during labor. This is because a vertical incision on the uterus weakens the uterine wall and increases the risk of rupture during contractions.
Having two previous cesarean deliveries with low transverse incisions does not increase the risk of uterine rupture significantly compared to having one previous cesarean delivery with a low transverse incision.
being 41 weeks gestation does not increase the risk of uterine rupture significantly compared to being 39 weeks gestation.
Normal ranges for uterine rupture during labor are 0.2% to 1.5% for women who have had one previous cesarean delivery with a low transverse incision and 0.9% to 3.7% for women who have had two or more previous cesarean deliveries with low transverse incisions.
