Outline

A 27-year-old female who is 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant, with contractions occurring once every 10 minutes. The patient is checked in, vital signs are normal, fetal heart tones are normal and the mother and father to-be are settled into their room for the night. It is 4 am and the call light goes off.
