UNIT 1: SCENARIOS FOR CLINICAL PREPARATION
CHAPTER 1: BESS GASKELL: IMMEDIATE POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A PREGNANT WOMAN IS BEING DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL AFTER THE PLACEMENT OF A
CERVICAL CERCLAGE BECAUSE OF A HISTORY OF RECURRENT PREGNANCY LOSS, SECONDARY TO AN
INCOMPETENT CERVIX. WHICH INFORMATION REGARDING POSTPROCEDURAL CARE SHOULD THE
NURSE EMPHASIZE IN THE DISCHARGE TEACHING?
A. ANY VAGINAL DISCHARGE SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY REPORTED TO HER HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.
B. THE PRESENCE OF ANY CONTRACTIONS, RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES (ROM), OR SEVERE PERINEAL
PRESSURE SHOULD BE REPORTED.
C. THE CLIENT WILL NEED TO ARRANGE FOR CARE AT HOME, BECAUSE HER ACTIVITY LEVEL WILL BE
RESTRICTED.
D. THE CLIENT WILL BE SCHEDULED FOR A CESAREAN BIRTH.
CORRECT ANS>>>B
NURSING CARE SHOULD STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF MONITORING FOR THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
OF PRETERM LABOR. VAGINAL BLEEDING NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO HER PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
, PROVIDER. BED REST IS AN ELEMENT OF CARE. HOWEVER, THE WOMAN MAY STAND FOR PERIODS OF
UP TO 90 MINUTES, WHICH ALLOWS HER THE FREEDOM TO SEE HER PHYSICIAN. HOME UTERINE
ACTIVITY MONITORING MAY BE USED TO LIMIT THE WOMAN'S NEED FOR VISITS AND TO MONITOR HER
STATUS SAFELY AT HOME. THE CERCLAGE CAN BE REMOVED AT 37 WEEKS OF GESTATION (TO PREPARE
FOR A VAGINAL BIRTH), OR A CESAREAN BIRTH CAN BE PLANNED.
2. A PERINATAL NURSE IS GIVING DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS TO A WOMAN, STATUS POST-SUCTION,
AND CURETTAGE SECONDARY TO A HYDATIDIFORM MOLE. THE WOMAN ASKS WHY SHE MUST TAKE
ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS. WHAT IS THE BEST RESPONSE BY THE NURSE?
A. "IF YOU GET PREGNANT WITHIN 1 YEAR, THE CHANCE OF A SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCY IS VERY SMALL.
THEREFORE, IF YOU DESIRE A FUTURE PREGNANCY, IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR YOU TO USE THE MOST
RELIABLE METHOD OF CONTRACEPTION AVAILABLE."
B. "THE MAJOR RISK TO YOU AFTER A MOLAR PREGNANCY IS A TYPE OF CANCER THAT CAN BE
DIAGNOSED ONLY BY MEASURING THE SAME HORMONE THAT YOUR BODY PRODUCES DURING
PREGNANCY. IF YOU WERE TO GET PREGNANT, THEN IT WOULD MAKE THE DIAGNOSIS OF THIS CANCER
MORE DIFFICULT."
C. "IF YOU CAN AVOID A PREGNANCY FOR THE NEXT YEAR, THE CHANCE OF DEVELOPING A SECOND
MOLAR PREGNANCY IS RARE. THEREFORE, TO IMPROVE YOUR CHANCE OF A SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCY,
NOT GETTING PREGNANT AT THIS TIME IS BEST."
D. "ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES ARE THE ONLY FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL THAT WILL PREVENT A
RECURRENCE OF A MOLAR PREGNANCY."
CORRECT ANS>>>B
BETA-HUMAN CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN (BETA-HCG) HORMONE LEVELS ARE DRAWN FOR 1 YEAR TO
ENSURE THAT THE MOLE IS COMPLETELY GONE. THE CHANCE OF DEVELOPING CHORIOCARCINOMA
AFTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HYDATIDIFORM MOLE IS INCREASED. THEREFORE, THE GOAL IS TO
ACHIEVE A ZERO HUMAN CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN (HCG) LEVEL. IF THE WOMAN WERE TO BECOME
PREGNANT, THEN IT MAY OBSCURE THE PRESENCE OF THE POTENTIALLY CARCINOGENIC CELLS.
WOMEN SHOULD BE INSTRUCTED TO USE BIRTH CONTROL FOR 1 YEAR AFTER TREATMENT FOR A
HYDATIDIFORM MOLE. THE RATIONALE FOR AVOIDING PREGNANCY FOR 1 YEAR IS TO ENSURE THAT
CARCINOGENIC CELLS ARE NOT PRESENT. ANY CONTRACEPTIVE METHOD EXCEPT AN INTRAUTERINE
DEVICE (IUD) IS ACCEPTABLE.
3. THE NURSE IS PREPARING TO ADMINISTER METHOTREXATE TO THE CLIENT. THIS HAZARDOUS DRUG
IS MOST OFTEN USED FOR WHICH OBSTETRIC COMPLICATION?
