Question 1 of 5

A postpartum client's fundus is firm, 3 cm above the umbilicus and displaced to the right. Which of the following interventions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Displacement of the uterus from the midline is often a sign of bladder distention. A full bladder can prevent the uterus from contracting properly, which could increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. The nurse should assist the client to void and then reassess the position and firmness of the fundus to ensure appropriate uterine contraction.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client who is Rh-negative about Rh (D) immune globulin. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The client's statement correctly reflects that Rh immune globulin is administered after delivery to prevent sensitization in future pregnancies, especially if the baby is Rh-positive.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving oxytocin to augment labor. The client has an intrauterine pressure catheter and an internal fetal scalp electrode for monitoring. Which of the following is an indication that the nurse should discontinue the infusion?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A contraction duration of 100 seconds indicates potential uterine hyperstimulation, which can lead to fetal distress and decreased uterine perfusion. The nurse should discontinue the oxytocin infusion immediately to ensure the safety of both mother and fetus.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who is at 31 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of a potential prenatal complication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Blurred vision can be an indicator of serious conditions such as preeclampsia, which involves hypertension and can lead to significant maternal and fetal complications.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client in active labor. The nurse notes variable decelerations in the fetal heart rate. Which of the following is the priority nursing action?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Variable decelerations are often caused by umbilical cord compression. Repositioning the client can help alleviate pressure on the cord and improve fetal oxygenation.
