Chapter 1 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 sho
c. The client will need to make arrangements for care at home, because her activity level will
be re
d. The client will be scheduled for a cesarean birth.
ANSWER: 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
womans need for visits and to monitor her status safely at home. The cerclage can be removed at37
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 postsuction, and
curettage secondary to a hydatidiform mole. The woman asks why she must take oral
contraceptives for the next 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,
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
byhormone that your body produces during pregnancy. If you were to get pregnant, then it would

ANSWER: 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 humanchorionic
gonadotropin (hCG) level. If the woman were to become pregnant, then it may obscurethe 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 exceptan
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?
a. Complete hydatidiform mole
b. Missed abortion
c. Unruptured ectopic pregnancy
d. Abruption placentae
ANSWER: C
Methotrexate is an effective nonsurgical treatment option for a hemodynamically stable woman
whose ectopic pregnancy is unruptured and measures less than 4 cm in diameter. Methotrexate
isnot indicated or recommended as a treatment option for a complete hydatidiform mole, for a
missed abortion, or for abruptio placentae.

4. A 26-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 2, para 1-0-0-1, is 28 weeks pregnant when she
experiences bright red, painless vaginal bleeding. On her arrival at the 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. Internal fetal monitoring
