Chapter 1 immediate postpartum hemorrhage multiple
choice
1. A pregnant woman is being discharged from the hospital after the placement of a
Cervical cerclage because of a history of recurrent pregnancy loss, secondary to an
incompetent cervix. Which information regarding post procedural care should the
nurse emphasize in the discharge teaching?
a. Any vaginal discharge should be immediately reported to her health care provider.
b. The presence of any contractions, rupture of membranes (rom), or severe
perineal pressure should
c. The client will need to make arrangements for care at home, because her activity
level will b restri
d. The client will be scheduled for a
cesarean birth.
Correct answer: B
Nursing care should stress the importance of monitoring for the signs and symptoms of
preterm labor. Vaginal bleeding needs to be reported to her primary health care provider.
Bed rest is
An element of care. However, the woman may stand for periods of up to 90 minutes,
which allows her the freedom to see her physician. Home uterine activity monitoring may
be used to limit the woman’s need for visits and to monitor her status safely at home.
The cerclage can be removed at37 weeks of gestation (to prepare for a vaginal birth), or a
cesarean birth can be planned.

2. A perinatal nurse is giving discharge instructions to a woman, status postsuction,
and curettage secondary to a hydatidiform mole. The woman asks why she must take
oral contraceptives for the next 12 months. What is the bestresponse by the nurse?
If you get pregnant within 1 year, the chance of a successful pregnancy is very small.

Ensure that the mole is completely gone. The chance of developing choriocarcinoma after the
development of a hydatidiform mole is increased. Therefore, the goal is to achieve a zero
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) level. If the woman were to become pregnant, then it
may obscure the presence of the potentially carcinogenic cells. Women should be instructed to
use birth control for 1 year after treatment for a h y b r i d i z a t i o n mole. The rationale
for avoiding pregnancy
For 1 year is to ensure that carcinogenic cells are not present. Any contraceptive method
exceptan intrauterine device (iud) is acceptable.

3. The nurse is preparing to administer methotrexate to the client.
This hazardous drug is most often used for which obstetric
complication?
a. Complete hybridization mole
b. Missed abortion
c. Enraptured ectopic pregnancy
d. Abruptio
placentae correct
answer: C
Methotrexate is an effective nonsurgical treatment option for a hemodynamically stable woman
Whose ectopic pregnancy is ruptured and measures less than 4 cm in diameter.
Methotrexate is not indicated or recommended as a treatment option for a
complete hybridization mole, for a missed abortion, or for abrupt placenta.

4. A 26-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 2, para 1-0-0-1, is 28 weeks pregnant when
she experiences bright red, painless vaginal bleeding. On her arrival at the hospital,
which diagnostic procedure will the client most likely have performed?
a. Amniocentesis for fetal lung maturity
b. Transvaginal ultrasound for placental location
c. Contraction stress test (cst)
d. Interna
l fetal monitoring
Correct
answer:
B
The presence of painless bleeding should always alert the health care team to the possibility of
Placenta previa, which can be confirmed through ultrasonography. Amniocentesis is not
performed on a woman who is experiencing bleeding. In the event of an imminent delivery,
the fetus is presumed to have immature lungs at this gestational age, and the mother is
given corticosteroids to aid in fetal lung maturity. A cst is not performed at a preterm
gestational age.furthermore, bleeding is a contraindication to a cst. Internal fetal
monitoring is also contraindicated in the presence of bleeding.
