BankChapter 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 shou
c. The client will need to make arrangements for care at home, because her activity level will be res
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 at
37 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 by m
hormone that your body produces during pregnancy. If you were to get pregnant, then it would m
b. this cancer more difficult.
If you can avoid a pregnancy for the next year, the chance of developing a second molar pregnan
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
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 human
chorionic gonadotropin (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 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 except

an intrauterine device (IUD) is acceptable.

3. The nurse is preparing to administer methotrexate to the client. This hazardous drug
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




is most often used for which obstetric complication?
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




a. Complete hydatidiform mole #f #f




b. Missed abortion #f

Methotrexate is an effective nonsurgical treatment option for a hemodynamically stable woman
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




whose ectopic pregnancy is unruptured and measures less than 4 cm in diameter. Methotrexate is

not 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
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




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




procedure will the client most likely have performed?
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




a. Amniocentesis for fetal lung maturity #f #f #f #f




b. Transvaginal ultrasound for placental location #f #f #f #f




c. Contraction stress test (CST) #f #f #f




d. Internal fetal monitoring #f #f




ANS: B
#f #f




The presence of painless bleeding should always alert the health care team to the possibility of
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




placenta previa, which can be confirmed through ultrasonography. Amniocentesis is not
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




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




fetus is presumed to have immature lungs at this gestational age, and the mother is given
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




corticosteroids to aid in fetal lung maturity. A CST is not performed at a preterm gestational age.
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




Furthermore, bleeding is a contraindication to a CST. Internal fetal monitoring is also
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




contraindicated in the presence of bleeding.

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




fluid consists of bright red blood. Her contractions are consistent with her current stage of labor.
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




No change in uterine resting tone has occurred. The fetal heart rate (FHR) begins to decline
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




rapidly after the ROM. The nurse should suspect the possibility of what condition?
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




a. Placenta previa #f




b. Vasa previa #f




c. Severe abruptio placentae #f #f




*

, d. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) #f #f #f




ANS: B
#f #f




Vasa previa is the result of a velamentous insertion of the umbilical cord. The umbilical vessels
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




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




thus are at risk for laceration at any time, but laceration occurs most frequently during ROM. The
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




sudden appearance of bright red blood at the time of ROM and a sudden change in the FHR
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




without other known risk factors should immediately alert the nurse to the possibility of vasa
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




previa. The presence of placenta previa most likely would be ascertained before labor and is
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




considered a risk factor for this pregnancy. In addition, if the woman had a placenta previa, it is
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




unlikely that she would be allowed to pursue labor and a vaginal birth. With the presence of
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




severe abruptio placentae, the uterine tonicity typically is tetanus (i.e., a boardlike uterus). DIC is
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




a pathologic form of diffuse clotting that consumes large amounts of clotting factors, causing
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




widespread external bleeding, internal bleeding, or both. DIC is always a secondary diagnosis,
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




often associated with obstetric risk factors such as the hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels,
#f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f #f




and low platelet levels (HELLP) syndrome. This woman did not have any prior risk factors.

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

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

#f #f




Cullen sign, the blue ecchymosis observed in the umbilical area, indicates hematoperitoneum

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

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

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




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

or around the eighth week of pregnancy.

understanding of miscarriage. Which statement regarding this condition is most accurate?
