Intrapartum-Related Complications Questions
Question 1 of 5
A patient is being prepared for an unplanned cesarean section. Which pre-procedure information is most important for the nurse to report before the administration of regional anesthesia?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is providing care for a patient who delivered via cesarean 24 hours ago. Which teaching does the nurse provide for the patient and family? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
Proper placement of the tocotransducer for electronic fetal monitoring is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The tocotransducer is a device used for electronic fetal monitoring to measure uterine contractions. Proper placement of the tocotransducer is over the uterine fundus, which is the upper part of the uterus where contractions are most accurately detected. Placing the tocotransducer there allows for optimal monitoring of uterine activity during labor, ensuring accurate readings and appropriate interventions if necessary. Placing the tocotransducer inside the uterus, on the fetal scalp, or over the mother's lower abdomen would not provide accurate readings of uterine contractions.
Question 4 of 5
If the position of a fetus in a cephalic presentation is right occiput anterior, the nurse should assess the fetal heart rate in which quadrant of the maternal abdomen?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When the fetus is in a right occiput anterior position, the back of the fetus is on the mother's right side, and the fetal heart is also located on the right side of the mother's abdomen. It is typically heard in the lower right quadrant due to the location of the fetal back and heart. The nurse should assess the fetal heart rate in the right lower quadrant of the maternal abdomen to accurately assess the well-being of the fetus in this position.
Question 5 of 5
When a Category II pattern of the fetal heart rate is noted and the patient is lying on her left side, which nursing action is indicated?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When a Category II pattern of fetal heart rate is noted, placing a wedge under the left hip of the pregnant patient is indicated. This position helps to improve blood flow to the placenta and can sometimes help to improve the fetal heart rate pattern. Placing the patient in a left lateral tilt can also be effective in improving circulation and oxygenation to the fetus. It is important to act promptly in response to abnormal fetal heart rate patterns to optimize the well-being of the baby. Lowering the head of the bed, changing the position to the right side, or placing the mother in Trendelenburg position are not appropriate actions in this situation.
