would be a priority for the nurse to assess first.
Signs of Potential Complications with Oral Contraceptives
New onset of blurred vision.
Persistent headaches.
Unilateral leg pain during ambulation.
Apgar Score for Newborn at 1 Minute
If the newborn is pale and blue, has a weak cry, an apical pulse of 80 bpm, no
response to stimulation, and minimal extremity movement, the Apgar score at 1
minute would be 3.
Neonatal Withdrawal Symptoms

drug withdrawal in a neonate.
Nonstress Test (NST) Fetal Heart Rate Pattern
, The nurse would record a reactive nonstress test with a fetal heart rate baseline of

change the client’s position.
Gestational Diabetes Education
The patient should be informed that they are at risk for developing gestational
diabetes in subsequent pregnancies, and both the patient and infant have an
