Question 3 of 5
Which is the best explanation for the use of hydration and relaxation in the treatment of hypertonic labor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hydration helps to dilute endogenous oxytocin, which can reduce uterine contractions and relax the uterus. Hypertonic labor involves excessive uterine contractions, and hydration can counteract this by regulating contractions and improving perfusion, which ultimately aids in a more coordinated and effective labor progression.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient during induction of labor. The oxytocin is currently infusing at 6 mU/min. The fetal heart tracing displays a 130 baseline, moderate variability, and no accelerations or decelerations. Uterine contractions have been every 2 minutes for the last 30 minutes. What is the nurse’s next best action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
Cephalohematoma occurring from an operative vaginal delivery increased a newborn’s risk of developing which of the following complications?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cephalohematomas are a common complication from operative vaginal deliveries. The accumulation of blood between the infant's skull and periosteum increases the risk of jaundice because of the breakdown of red blood cells, which can overwhelm the infant's immature liver and lead to hyperbilirubinemia.
