increased from small to large and her fundus is boggy despite massage. The
client's pulse is 84beats/minute and blood pressure is 156/96. The healthcare
provider prescribes Methergine 0.2 mg IM × 1. What action should the nurse
take immediately?
Contact the healthcare provider and question the prescription
Methergine is contraindicated for clients with elevated blood pressure, so the
nurse should contact the healthcare provider and question the prescription
2. A client at 32-weeks’gestation is diagnosed with preeclampsia. Which
assessmentfinding is most indicative of an impending convulsion?
3+ deep tendon reflexes and hyper clonus
3. A client at 32-weeks’gestation comes to the prenatal clinic with complaints
of pedaledema, dyspnea, fatigue, and a moist cough. Which question is most
important for the nurse to ask this client?
Do you have a history of rheumatic fever?
Clients with a history of rheumatic fever may develop mitral valve prolapse, which
increases the risk for cardiac decompensation due to the increased blood volume that
occurs during pregnancy, so obtaining information about this client's health history is a
priority.

4. After each feeding, a 3-day-old newborn is spitting up large amounts of
Enfamil® Newborn Formula, a nonfat cow's milk formula. The pediatric
healthcare provider changes the neonate's formula to Similac® Soy Isomil®
Formula, a soy protein isolate based infant formula. What information should
the nurse provide to the motherabout the newly prescribed formula?
Similac® Soy Isomil® Formula is a soy protein-based formula that contains sucrose
The nurse should explain that the newborn's feeding intolerance may be related tothe
lactose found in cow's milk formula and is being replaced with the soy-based formula
that contains sucrose, which is well-tolerated in infants with milk allergies and lactose
intolerance.
5. The nurse is performing a gestational age assessment on a full-term newborn
during the first hour of transition using the Ballard (Dubowitz) scale. Based on
this assessment, the nurse determines that the neonate has a maturity rating of
40-weeks.What findings should the nurse identify to determine if the neonate is
small for gestational age (SGA)? (Select all that apply.)

Frontal occipital circumference of 12.5 inches (31.25
cm)Head to heel length of 17 inches (42.5 cm)
Admission weight of 4 pounds, 15 ounces (2244 grams)
The normal full-term, appropriate for gestational age (AGA) newborn should fall
between the measurement ranges of weight, 6-9 pounds (2700-4000 grams);
length, 19-21 inches (48-53 cm); FOC, 13-14 inches (33-35 cm). This neonate's
parameters plot below the 10% percentile, which indicate that the infant is SGA.
6. The nurse is assessing a client who is having a non-stress test (NST) at 41-weeks
gestation. The nurse determines that the client is not having contractions, the
fetal heartrate (FHR) baseline is 144 bpm, and no FHR accelerations are
occurring. What action should the nurse take?
The client should be asked if she has felt the fetus move.
An NST is used to determine fetal well-being and is often implemented when post
maturity is suspected. A "reactive" NST occurs if the FHR accelerates 15 bpm for 15
seconds in response to the fetus' own movement and is "nonreactive" if no FHR
acceleration occurs in response to fetal movement.
7. A vaginally delivered infant of an HIV positive mother is admitted to the
newbornnursery. What intervention should the nurse perform first?
To reduce direct contact with the human immuno-virus in blood and body fluids
on thenewborn's skin, a bath with an antimicrobial soap should be administered
first.

wants touse herbal therapy. Which response is best for the nurse to provide?
It is important that you want to take part in your care.
The emphasis of alternative and complementary therapies, such as herbal therapy,is
that the client is viewed as a whole being, capable of decision-making and an integral
part of the health care team, so recognizes the client's request.
9. A primigravida client who is 5 cm dilated, 90% effaced, and at 0 station is
requesting anepidural for pain relief. Which assessment finding is most
important for the nurse to report to the healthcare provider?
