Reasoning:->>>>Nursing care should stress the importance of monitoring for the n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
signs and symptoms of preterm labor. Vaginal bleeding needs to be reported to her
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
primary health care provider. Bed rest is an element of care. However, the woman
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
may stand for periods of up to 90 minutes, which allows her the freedom to see
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
her physician. Home uterine activity monitoring may be used to limit the womans
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n 7 n7 n7 n7 n7
need for visits and to monitor her status safely at home. The cerclage can be
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
removed at 37 weeks of gestation (to prepare for a vaginal birth), or a cesarean

n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
response by the nursing attendant?
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
a. If you get expectant within 1 year, the chance of a successful
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n 7 n 7
n 7gestation/pregnancy is very small. Therefore, if gestation/pregnancy, it would n7 n 7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
be better for you to use the most reliable methodof contraception available.

b. The major risk to you after a molar gestation/pregnancy is a type of cancer that
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
can be diagnosed only by me hormone that your body produces during
n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7 n7
gestation/pregnancy. If you were to get expectant, then itwould make this cancer

more difficult.

developing a second molar gestation/pregnancy improve your chance of a successful

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 hydatidiform

carcinogenic cells are not present. Any contraceptive method except an intrauterine
