MULTIPLE’CHOICE
1.’ A’pregnant,woman’is’being,discharged,from’the’hospital’after,the’placement,of,a’cervical’cerc’
lage’because’of’a’history’of’recurrent’pregnancy’loss,’secondary’to’an’incompetent,cervix.’Which’i
nformation,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’shou ld
c. The’client,will’need’to’make’arrangements’for’care’at’home,’because’her,activity,level’will’be’rest ri
d. The’client,will’be’scheduled’for,a’cesarean,birth.

Nursing,care,should,stress’the’importance’of’monitoring’for,the,signs’and,symptoms’of’preterm’lab
or.’Vaginal’bleeding’needs’to’be’reported’to’her,primary,health’care’provider.’Bed’rest’is’an’elem’ent’
of’care.’However,’the’woman’may,stand,for,periods’of’up’to’90’minutes,’which’allows’her,the’fre’edo
m’to’see’her’physician.’Home’uterine’activity,monitoring,may,be,used’to’limit’the’womans’need’for’v
isits’and’to,monitor,her,status’safely,at’home.’The’cerclage’can’be’removed’at,37’weeks’of,gestat’ion’(t
o’prepare’for,a’vaginal’birth),’or’a’cesarean’birth’can’be’planned.

2.’ A’perinatal’nurse’is’giving’discharge’instructions’to,a’woman,’status’postsuction,’and’curettage’se’
condary,to’a’hydatidiform’mole.’The’woman’asks’why,she’must’take’oral’contraceptives’for,’ the’nex’t
,12’months.’What’is’the’bestresponse’by,the’nurse?

If’you’get’pregnant’within’1’year,’the’chance’of’a’successful’pregnancy,is’very’small.’Therefore,’if
a. pregnancy,’it’would’be’better,for,you’to,use,the’most,reliable,method,of,contraception,available.
The’major,risk’to,you’after,a’molar’pregnancy,is’a’type’of,cancer,that,can’be’diagnosed’only,by,me’
hormone’that’your’body’produces’during,pregnancy.’If,you’were’to’get’pregnant,’then’it’would’m ak

If’you’can’avoid,a’pregnancy’for’the’next’year,’the’chance’of,developing’a’second,molar,pregnanc y
c. 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’pre g’A
NS:’B
Betahuman,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’gonad’
otropin’(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’treat’
ment’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’i’ntr
auterine’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?
a. Complete’hydatidiform,mole
b. Missed’abortion
c. Unruptured’ectopic’pregnancy
d. Abruptioplacentae
ANS:’C
Methotrexate’is’an’effective’nonsurgical’treatment’option’for’a’hemodynamically’stable’woman’wh
ose’ectopic’pregnancy’is’unruptured’and’measures’less’than’4’cm’in’diameter.’Methotrexate’is’not’indi
cated’or’recommended’as’a’treatment,option’for,a’complete’hydatidiform’mole,’for,a’missed’ab’ortio

he,hospital,’which’diagnostic’procedure,will’the’client,most,likely,have’performed?
a. Amniocentesis’for’fetal’lung’maturity
b. Transvaginal’ultrasound’for’placental’location
c. Contraction’stress’test’(CST)
d. Internalfetalmonitoring
ANS:’B
The’presence’of,painless’bleeding’should’always’alert’the’health’care’team’to’the’possibility’of’place
nta’previa,’which’can’be’confirmed,through’ultrasonography.’Amniocentesis’is’not’performed,’ on’a’
woman’who’is’experiencing’bleeding.’In’the’event’of’an,imminent’delivery,’the’fetus’is’presum’ed’to’
have’immature’lungs’at’this’gestational’age,’and’the’mother,is’given’corticosteroids’to,aid’in,fet’al’lun
g’maturity.’A’CST’is’not’performed’at’a’preterm’gestational’age.’Furthermore,’bleeding,is’a’co’ntrain
dication’to’a’CST.’Internal’fetal’monitoring’is’also’contraindicated’in’the’presence’of,bleeding

5.’ A’laboring,woman’with’no’known’risk’factors’suddenly’experiences’spontaneous’ROM.’The’flu’i
d’consists’of’bright,red’blood.’Her’contractions’are’consistent,with’her’current’stage’of’labor.’No’ch’a
nge’in’uterine’resting’tone’has’occurred.’The’fetal’heart,rate’(FHR)’begins’to,decline’rapidly,after,t’h
e’ROM.’The’nurse’should,suspect’the’possibility,of,what’condition?
a. Placenta’previa
b. Vasa’previa
c. Severe’abruptio’placentae

, d. Disseminatedintravascularcoagulation(DIC)
ANS:’B
Vasa’previa’is’the’result’of’a’velamentous’insertion’of’the’umbilical’cord.’The’umbilical’vessels
are’not’surrounded’by’Wharton’jelly,and’have’no’supportive’tissue.’The’umbilical’blood’vessels’thu’
s’are’at’risk,for,laceration’at’any,time,’but,laceration’occurs’most’frequently,during’ROM.’The’sudde’
n’appearance’of’bright,red’blood,at’the’time’of’ROM’and’a’sudden’change’in’the’FHR,without’other’
known’risk’factors’should’immediately,alert,the’nurse’to’the,possibility,of’vasa’previa.’The’presence’
of’placenta’previa’most’likely,would’be’ascertained’before,labor,and’is’considered’a’risk’factor’for’t’
his’pregnancy.’In’addition,’if’the’woman’had’a’placenta’previa,’it’is’unlikely,that’she’would’be’allow’e
d’to’pursue’labor,and’a’vaginal’birth.’With’the’presence’of,severe’abruptio’placentae,’the’uterine’ton’ic
ity,typically,is’tetanus’(i.e.,’a’boardlike’uterus).’DIC’is’a’pathologic’form’of’diffuse’clotting’that’co’ns
umes’large’amounts’of’clotting’factors,’causing,widespread’external’bleeding,’internal’bleeding,’or,
both.’DIC’is’always’a’secondary,diagnosis,’often’associated’with’obstetric’risk,factors’such’as’the’he
molysis,’elevated’liver,enzyme’levels,’and’low’platelet,levels’(HELLP)’syndrome.’This’woman’d’id’
not’have’any,prior’risk’factors.

6.’A’woman’arrives’for,evaluation’of’signs’and,symptoms’that’include’a’missed’period,’adnexal’ful’l
ness,’tenderness,’and’dark’red’vaginal’bleeding.’On’examination,’the’nurse’notices’an’ecchymotic’b
lueness’around’the’womans’umbilicus.’What’does’this’finding’indicate?
a. Normal’integumentary,changes’associated’with’pregnancy
b. Turner’sign’associated’with’appendicitis
c. Cullen,sign,associated,with’a’ruptured’ectopic’pregnancy
d. Chadwick’sign’associated’with,earlypregnancy

7.’The’nurse’who’elects’to’practice’in’the’area’of’womens’health’must’have’a’thorough’under’
standing,of,miscarriage.’Which’statement’regarding,this’condition’is’most,accurate?
a. A’miscarriage’is’a’natural’pregnancy,loss’before’labor,begins.
b. It’occurs’in’fewer,than’5%’of’all’clinically’recognized’pregnancies.
