movement
A nurse is caring for a client who has oligohydraminios. What fetal
anomalies should the nurse expect?

b. atrial septal defect
c. spina bifida
d. hydrocephalus - ✔✔-C0RRECT ANSWER-✔✔-a. renal agenesis
A nurse is assessing a client who is at 37 wks gestation and has a
suspected pelvic fracture due to blunt abd trauma. What findings should the
nurse expect?
a. uterine contractions
b. bradycardia

b. dark brown vaginal discharge
c. fetal heart tones
d. decreased urinary output - ✔✔-C0RRECT ANSWER-✔✔-b. dark brown
vaginal discharge
A hydatidiform mole, or a molar pregnancy, is a benign proliferative growth
of the chorionic villi, which gives rise to multiple cysts. The products of
conception transform into a large number of edematous, fluid-filled
vesicles. As cells slough off the uterine wall, vaginal discharge is usually
dark brown and can contain grapelike clusters.

hrs
When using the urgent vs. nonurgent approach to client care, the nurse
should determine that the priority finding is 480 mL of urine output in 24 hr
because the minimum acceptable urine output in an adult client is 30
mL/hr. This can indicate progression of preeclampsia to preeclampsia with
severe features, which requires immediate intervention. Therefore, this is
the priority finding.

double vision
A nurse is caring for a client who is in the latent phase of labor and is
receiving oxytocin via continuous IV infusion. The nurse notes that the
client is having contractions every 2 min which last 100-110 seconds that
the fetal heart rate is reassuring. What action should the nurse take?
a. decrease the dose of oxytocin by half
b. administer oxygen via nonrebreather mask
c. decrease the infusion rate of the maintenance IV fluid
d. administer terbutaline 0.25mg subq - ✔✔-C0RRECT ANSWER-✔✔-a.
decrease the dose of oxytocin by half
The nurse should decrease the dose of oxytocin by half because the client
is experiencing uterine tachysystole.
A nurse is caring for a client who is in active labor and has meconium
staining of the amniotic fluid. The nurse notes a reassuring FHR tracing
from the external fetal monitor. What action should the nurse take?

only if the newborn has poor respiratory effort, decreased muscle tone, and
bradycardia after delivery.
,A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who is at 33 wks
gestation and has placenta previa and bleeding. What scripts should the
nurse clarify with the provider?
a. insert a large-bore IV catheter

nonstress test. The FHR is 130 without accelerations for the past 10 min.
What action should the nurse take?

c. report the nonreactive test result to the provider immediately
d. use vibroacoustic stim on the client's abd for 3 seconds - ✔✔-C0RRECT
ANSWER-✔✔-d. use vibroacoustic stim on the client's abd for 3 seconds

elicit fetal activity because the fetus is most likely sleeping. Fetal movement
should cause accelerations in the FHR.

expected findings for a fetus experiencing the effects of polyhydramnios.
A nurse is teaching a client who has pre-eclampsia and is to receive
magnesium sulfate via continuous IV infusion about expected adverse
effects. What adverse effects should the nurse include in the teaching?
a. elevated BP
b. feeling of warmth
c. generalized pruritis
