◉ 1. Complications of the Newborn: Use of phototherapy Lights Pg.
244 Answer: • Place an eye mask over the newborns eyes after they
are gently closed to protect the corneas and retinas.

lateral position.

• Secure a Doppler transducer to the client's abdomen over the fetal
back to record the FHR pattern.
Nonstress Test: most widely used antepartum evaluation of fetal
well-being performed during the third trimester. The NST is
interpreted as reactive if the FHR is a normal baseline rate with
moderate variability, accelerates to 15 beats/min for at least 15
seconds and occurs two or more times during a 20 minute period.
, ◉ 4. Care of the postpartum client: epistomy care Pg. 154 Answer: •
Apply ice packs to the client's perineum for the first 24 to 48 hours
to reduce edema and provide anesthetic effect.
• Encourage sitz baths at a temperature of 38-40 degrees at least
twice a day.
