Every woman undergoing induction necessarily requires a separate cervical-ripening intervention.
Answer
false
Explanation
The material states that cervical ripening and induction lie on a continuum and that **not all women undergoing induction need cervical ripening**. Whether cervical preparation is required depends in part on cervical suitability.
**Key takeaway:** Assess the cervix; do not assume ripening is necessary in every induction.
**Glossary:** **Continuum**: a connected range of related processes. **Cervical suitability**: how favourable the cervix is for induction.
