A newborn's one minute APGAR score is 8. Which of the following
nursing interventions will you provide to this newborn?
A. Routine post-delivery care
B. Full resuscitation assistance is needed and reassess APGAR score
C. Continue to monitor and reassess the APGAR score in 10 minutes
D. Some resuscitation assistance such as oxygen
A. Routine post-delivery care
Scoring Interventions are as follows: 7-10: no interventions, baby doing
good just needs routine post-delivery care, 4-6: some resuscitation
assistance required like oxygen, suction.... stimulate the baby, rub
baby's back, 0-3: needs full resuscitation *Remember the APGAR
scoring is performed at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth and
reassessed at 10 minutes (5 minutes later) after birth if the score is 6 or
less.

woman who has had two or more pregnancies resulting in a successful
delivery, and nullipara is a woman who has not had a birth at more than
20 weeks gestation.

the early postpartum period?
A. Urinary urgency and dysuria
B. Rapid diuresis
C. Decrease in blood pressure
D. Increase motility of the GI system
B. Rapid diuresis
In the early PP period, there's an increase in the glomerular filtration

diuresis. There should be no urinary urgency, though a woman may feel
anxious about voiding. There's a minimal change in blood pressure
following childbirth, and a residual decrease in GI motility
