SWIFTRIVER MATERNITY STUDYS GUIDE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Jenna Strickland: Scenario Action #1 - ✔✔- Cleanse the area with skin antiseptic
prior to the procedure.
- Make the puncture in the outer part of the heel.
- Swaddle the newborn.
✔✔Jenna Strickland: Scenario Action #2 - ✔✔- Administer prescribed oral formula
feeding.
- Confirm blood glucose with a stat serum glucose.
- Suction the newborn's mouth and nose.
- Assess the newborn's respiratory status.
✔✔Jenna Strickland: Scenario Action #3 - ✔✔- Place the newborn away from air
conditioner vents.
- Use skin-to-skin contact with the newborn.
- Keep the bulb syringe near the newborn.
- Inform the parent to feed the newborn every 2-3 hours.
✔✔Jenna Strickland: Scenario Action #4 - ✔✔- Wrap the newborn with a blanket.
- Place the newborn under a radiant warmer.
, ✔✔Jenna Strickland: Scenario Action #5 - ✔✔- Remove the newborn from the
phototherapy light for feedings.
- Closely monitor urine and stool output.
- Reposition newborn every 2 hr.
✔✔Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes (preterm PROM)
- Patricia Moore - ✔✔The spontaneous rupture of the amniotic sac and leakage of
amniotic fluid before 37 weeks of gestation and prior to the onset of labor.
✔✔Placenta Previa
- Sue Brown - ✔✔The placenta is implanted in the lower uterine segment and
completely or partially covers the cervical os, or is close enough to the os that bleeding
occurs when the cervix dilates or effaces. Bleeding is bright red and painless and can
range from minimal to severe, threatening the life of the client and fetus.
✔✔Prolapse of the Umbilical Cord
- Michelle Davis - ✔✔A condition that occurs when the umbilical cord lies below the fetal
presenting part, leading cause fetal hypoxia, leading to CNS damage or death.
✔✔Nonstress Test (NST)
- Vanisha Wilder - ✔✔An antepartum evaluation of fetal well-being performed to assess
for theterm-82 presence of accelerations in the fetal heart rate in response to fetal
movement. An external electronic fetal monitor is applied, and the client presses a
small, handheld button each time they note fetal movement, which makes a mark on the
fetal monitor tracing. Accelerations in the fetal heart rate with movement indicate
adequate fetal oxygenation.
✔✔ - ✔✔A pregnancy that has reached 42 weeks of gestation without birth of the fetus
or the spontaneous onset of labor.
✔✔Meconium-Stained Amniotic Fluid
- Chantel Foster - ✔✔Amniotic fluid that contains products of the fetus's first bowel
movement in utero, staining the fluid a greenish color. Prolonged intrauterine exposure
to or aspiration of the fluid by the newborn may results in meconium aspiration
syndrome (MAS), a serious type of aspiration pneumonia=.
