Send her home with the usual prohibitions. Plan an induction for 18 hours post SROM if she doesn't arrive in labor before then.

(Caveat: I wouldn't have VE'd her until she was having contractions or we were starting an induction)

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
