cerclage because of a history of recurrent pregnancy loss, secondary to an incompetent cervix.

ANS: B
v v




Nursing care should stress the importance of monitoring for the signs and symptoms of preterm
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




labor. Vaginal bleeding needs to be reported to her primary health care provider. Bed rest is an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




element of care. However, the woman may stand for periods of up to 90 minutes, which allows her
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




the freedom to see her physician. Home uterine activity monitoring may be used to limit the womans
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




need for visits and to monitor her status safely at home. The cerclage can be removed at 37 weeks of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




gestation (to prepare for a vaginal birth), or a cesarean birth can be planned.

2. A perinatal nurse is givingdischarge instructions to a woman, status postsuction, and curettage
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




secondary to a hydatidiform mole. The woman asks why she must take oral contraceptives for the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




next 12 months. What is the bestresponse by the nurse?
v v v v v v v v v v




If you get pregnant within 1 year, the chance of a successful pregnancy is verysmall. Therefore, v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




a. pregnancy, it would be better for you to use the most reliable method of contraception available. v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




The major risk to you after a molar pregnancy is a type of cancer that can be diagnosed only by
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




hormone that your body produces during pregnancy. If you were to get pregnant, then it would

B
v




Betahuman chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) hormone levels are drawn for 1 year to ensure
v v v v v v v v v v v v




that the mole is completely gone. The chance of developing choriocarcinoma after the development
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




of a hydatidiform mole is increased. Therefore, the goal is to achieve a zero human chorionic
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




gonadotropin (hCG) level. If the woman were to become pregnant, then it mayobscure the presence of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




the potentially carcinogenic cells. Women should be instructed to use birth control for 1 year after
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




treatment for a hydatidiform mole. The rationale for avoiding pregnancy
v v v v v v v v v v

,for1 year is to ensure that carcinogenic cells arenot present. Anycontraceptive method except an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




intrauterine device (IUD) is acceptable.

3. The nurseis preparing to administer methotrexate to the client. This hazardous drug is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




most often used for which obstetric complication?
v v v v v v v




a. Complete hydatidiform mole v v




b. Missed abortion v

Methotrexateis an effective nonsurgical treatment option for a hemodynamically stable woman v v v v v v v v v v v




whoseectopic pregnancy is unruptured and measures less than4 cm in diameter. Methotrexate is not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




indicated or recommended as a treatment option for a complete hydatidiform mole, for a missed
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




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
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




experiences bright red, painless vaginal bleeding. On her arrival at the hospital, which diagnostic
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




procedure will the client most likely have performed?
v v v v v v v v




a. Amniocentesis for fetal lung maturity v v v v




b. Transvaginal ultrasound forplacental location v v v v




c. Contraction stress test (CST) v v v




d. Internal fetalmonitoring v v




ANS: B
v v




The presence of painless bleeding should always alert the health care team to the possibilityof
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




placenta previa, which can be confirmed through ultrasonography. Amniocentesis is not performed
v v v v v v v v v v v




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




presumed to have immature lungs at this gestational age, and the mother is given corticosteroids to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




aid in fetal lung maturity. A CST is not performed at a preterm gestational age. Furthermore, bleeding
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




is a contraindication to a CST. Internal fetal monitoring is also contraindicated in the presence of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




bleeding.

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




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




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




after the ROM. The nurse should suspect the possibility of what condition?
v v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Placenta previa v




b. Vasa previa v




c. Severe abruptio placentae v v

, d. Disseminatedintravascularcoagulation (DIC) v v v




ANS: B
v v




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




factors such as the hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and low platelet levels (HELLP)
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




syndrome. This woman did not have any prior risk factors.

6. A woman arrives for evaluation of signs and symptoms that include amissed period, adnexal
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




fullness, tenderness, and dark red vaginal bleeding. On examination, the nurse notices an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




ecchymotic blueness around the womans umbilicus. What does this finding indicate?
v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Normal integumentarychanges associated with pregnancy v v v v v




b. Turner sign associated with appendicitis v v v v




c. Cullen sign associated with aruptured ectopic pregnancy v v v v v v v




d. Chadwick sign associated with early pregnancy v v v v v




ANS: C
v v




Cullen sign, the blueecchymosis observed in the umbilical area, indicates hematoperitoneum
v v v v v v v v v v v




associated with an undiagnosed ruptured intraabdominal ectopic pregnancy. Linea nigra on the
v v v v v v v v v v v




abdomen is the normal integumentary change associated with pregnancy and exhibits a brown
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




pigmented, vertical line on the lower abdomen. Turner sign is ecchymosis in the flank area, often
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




associated with pancreatitis. A Chadwick sign is a blue-purple cervix that may be seen during or
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




around the eighth week of pregnancy.

7. The nurse who elects to practice in the area of womens health must have a thorough
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




understanding ofmiscarriage. Which statement regarding this condition ismost accurate?
v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Amiscarriage is a natural pregnancyloss before labor begins. v v v v v v v v v




b. It occurs in fewer than 5% of all clinically recognized pregnancies.
v v v v v v v v v v




c. Careless maternal behavior, such as poor nutrition or excessive exercise, can be a factor in causi If a
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




miscarriage occurs before the 12th week of pregnancy, then it maybe observed only as mod
