Jeanne Blum, RN, is a nurse on a LDRP unit. Recently, the policy and 
procedures manual for Jeanne’s unit included the premature rupturing of membranes of a laboring patient 
as a practice acceptable for nurses to perform. Jeanne 
and some of her coworkers shared their concern over 
lunch about this new responsibility.They felt uncomfortable with the possibility of cord prolapse and 
other potential medical complications resulting from 
this practice. Jeanne gathered data from her state and 
many others states and noted that her hospital was 
not in compliance with her professional organization
practice standards. Jeanne shared this information with her coworkers. She volunteered to contact the 
state board of nursing on their behalf to request a 
declaratory statement on the nurse’s role in the initiation of premature rupturing of uterine membranes. 
Her state board’s clinical practice committee 
reviewed her request for a declaratory statement and 
gathered information from other states. A formal 
declaratory statement was drafted by the board and 
made it available on its Web site. A letter from the 
board was sent to Jeanne’s institution, informing it of 
the declaratory statement, which stated that the task 
nurses were requested to perform was beyond their 
scope of practice based on the Nurse Practice Act.
