A nurse at a prenatal clinic is caring for a client who suspects she may be pregnant and asks the nurse how the prov... ider will confirm her pregnancy. The nurse should inform the client that which of the following labs tests will be used to confirm her pregnancy? 1. A blood test for the presence of estrogen 2. A blood test for the amount of circulating progesterone 3. A urine test for the presence of human chorionic somatomammotropin 4. A urine test for the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin: Human chorionic gonadotropin is excreted by the placenta and promotes the excretion of progesterone and estrogen. This hormone is the basis for pregnancy testing. 2. a nurse is teaching a client who is 8w gestation and has a uterine fibroid about potential effects of the fibroid during pregnancy.Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching? 1. "The fibroid will shrink during the pregnancy." 2. "The fibroid can increase the risk for postpartum hemorrhage." 3. "You will receive an injection of medroxyprogesterone acetate to shrink the fibroid." 4. "You will have to undergo a cesarean birth because of the fibroid.": Uterine fibroids can increase the risk for postpartum hemorrhage due to the increase in blood supply to the uterus, which supports the fibroid. 3. a nurse is assessing a client who is 12w gestation and has a hydatidiform mole. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect 1. hypothermia 2. dark brown vaginal discharge 3. decreased urinary output 4. fetal heart tones: A hydatidiform mole, or a molar pregnancy, is a benign proliferative growth of the chorionic villi, which gives rise to multiple cysts. The products of conception transform into a large number of edematous, fluid-filled vesicles. As cells slough off the uterine wall, vaginal discharge is usually dark brown and can contain grapelike clusters. 4. a nurse is caring for a client who is in the latent phase of labor and is experiencing low back pain.Which of the following actions should the nurse take? 1. instruct the client to pant during contractions 2. position the client supine with legs elevated 3. encourage the client to soak in a warm bath 4. apply pressure to the clients sacral area during contractions: The nurse should provide counter pressure to the sacral area with a palm or a firm object,Learning system 3.0 Maternal Newborn 1 Questions and Answers Graded A+ 2 / 8 such as a tennis ball, during contractions.

Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer 1. Betamethasone 2. Misoprostol 3. Methylergonovine 4. Poractant alfa: The nurse should plan to administer betamethasone IM, a glucocorticoid, to stimulate fetal lung maturity and thereby prevent respiratory depression. 6. A nurse is caring for a client who has a oligohydraaminos. Which of the following fetal abnormalities should the nurse expect?: Oligohydramnios is a volume of amniotic fluid less than 300 mL during the third trimester of pregnancy and occurs when there is a renal system dysfunction or obstructive uropathy. Absence of fetal kidneys will cause oligohydramnios 7. A nurse is caring for a client who is at 39W gestation and is in the active phase of labor. The nurse observes late decels on the FHR. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as the cause of late decels? 1. Uteroplacental insufficiency 2. Fetal head compression 3. Fetal ventricular septal defect 4. Umbilical cord compression: A late deceleration in the FHR is a nonreassuring FHR pattern resulting from fetal hypoxemia due to insufficient placental perfusion. The nurse should reposition the client, initiate oxygen, and increase the infusion rate of IV fluid to enhance placental perfusion. 8. a nurse is caring for client whose LMP began July 8. Using Nagel's rule, the nurse should identify the clinet's estimated DOB as which of the following 1. oct. 1st 2. april 1st 3. October 15 4.

Blood pressure 2. Intake and outputLearning system 3.0 Maternal Newborn 1 Questions and Answers Graded A+ 3 / 8 3. Daily weight 4.
