Which of the following conditions is classified as an absolute contraindication to the induction of labor, rather than an indication for it?
Answer
Pelvic tumour obstructing the birth canal
Explanation
Gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, and intrahepatic cholestasis are given as pregnancy-related indications. Renal disease is among the medical conditions listed as maternal indications. A pelvic tumour is listed instead as an absolute contraindication.
**Key takeaway:** The same assessment must distinguish a condition prompting delivery from a condition precluding induction.
**Glossary:** **Pre-eclampsia**: a pregnancy-associated hypertensive disorder. **Chronic**: persistent or long-standing.
