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.
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 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.

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,

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

ANS: 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
