Place the following clinical actions in the correct chronological order for managing a pregnant patient planning a trial of labour after caesarean (TOLAC), from earliest to latest in gestation.
Answer
Review operative records to evaluate eligibility for TOLAC, Obtain an ultrasound scan to assess placental localisation, Perform clinical pelvic assessment and finalise the mode-of-delivery plan, Counsel the patient to present promptly to the hospital at the onset of labour
Explanation
The slide begins with record review and lists late-pregnancy ultrasound, pelvimetry, and early labour presentation advice. The dates may overlap; the ordering reflects the teaching sequence rather than a requirement that one occur on a different day. **Key takeaway:** Eligibility review begins antenatally. **Glossary:** **Antenatal**: before birth.
