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

on a woman who is experiencing bleeding. In the event of an imminent delivery, the fetus is

5. A laboring woman with no known risk factors suddenly experiences spontaneous ROM. The
b b b b b b b b b b b b




fluid consists of bright red blood. Her contractions are consistent with her current stage of labor. No

change in uterine resting tone has occurred. The fetal heart rate (FHR) begins to decline rapidly

Vasaprevia is the result of a velamentous insertion of the umbilical cord. The umbilical vessels
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




are not surrounded by Wharton jelly and have no supportive tissue. The umbilical blood vessels thus
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




are at risk for laceration at anytime, but laceration occurs most frequentlyduring ROM. The sudden
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




appearance of bright red blood at the time of ROM and a sudden change in the FHR without other
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




known risk factors should immediately alert the nurse to the possibility of vasa previa. The presence
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




of placenta previa most likely would be ascertained before labor and is considered a risk factor for
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




this pregnancy. In addition, if the woman had a placenta previa, it is unlikely that she would be
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




allowed to pursue labor and a vaginal birth. With the presence of severe abruptio placentae, the
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




uterine tonicity typically is tetanus (i.e., a boardlike uterus). DIC is a pathologic form of diffuse

clotting that consumes large amounts of clotting factors, causing widespread external bleeding,

internal bleeding, or both. DIC is always a secondary diagnosis, often associated with obstetric risk
