A nurse is assessing a client who is at 30 weeks of gestation during a routine prenatal visit.
Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider? - Answer>>> Swelling
of the face, sacral area, and hands can indicate gestational hypertension or preeclampsia.
Reduction in renal perfusion leads to sodium and water retention. Fluid moves out of the
intravascular compartment into the tissues, causing edema.
A nurse is assessing a client who gave birth vaginally 12 hr ago and palpates her uterus to the
right above the umbilicus. Which of the following interventions should the nurse perform? -

contracting, resulting in increased vaginal bleeding or postpartum hemorrhage.
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who is postpartum and was taking insulin for
gestational diabetes mellitus. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the
teaching? - Answer>>> The nurse should instruct the client to get a 2-hr oral glucose tolerance
test 6 to 12 weeks postpartum and every 3 years to screen for type 2 diabetes mellitus

when the uterus is contracted and firm. It will require repair by the provider.
Excess vaginal bleeding is correct. Oxytocin enhances uterine contractility, decreasing vaginal
bleeding.
Increased afterbirth cramping is incorrect. The use of oxytocin will increase, rather than
decrease, afterbirth cramping.
Increased maternal temperature is incorrect. The use of oxytocin will have no effect on maternal
temperature.
A nurse is teaching a client who is at 35 weeks of gestation about clinical manifestations of
