The Bishop score is a system for the assessment and rating of cervical favorability and readiness for induction of labor. The cervix is scored (0-3) on consistency, position, dilation, effacement, and station of the fetal presenting part. A higher Bishop score indicates an increased likelihood of successful induction that results in vaginal birth. For nulliparous women, a score 26-8 usually indicates that induction will be successful (Option 1)
(Option 2) A cervix that is firm and posterior is associated with a low Bishop score, which reflects a low likelihood of successful labor induction,
(Option 3) A history of precipitous labor (<3 hours from onset of contractions to birth) may indicate that the client will again experience precipitous labor once labor is established. However, such a history is not an independent predictor of successful induction.
(Option 4) A reactive nonstress test indicates that the fetus is well oxygenated and establishes fetal well-being. It does not provide information about the likely success or failure of labor induction.
