Her contractions are 5 minutes apart.

The client should be advised to come to the labor and delivery unit when the contractions are every 5 minutes and consistent. She should also be told to report to the hospital if she experiences rupture of membranes or extreme bleeding. She should not wait until the contractions are every 2 minutes or until she has bloody discharge. so answers A and B are incorrect. Answer C is a vague answer and can be related to a urinary tract infection.
