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.
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 mother about 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 to the 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.

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.
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 heart rate (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.
