Question 1 of 5
As a nurse working in a prenatal clinic. It is important to obtain maternal and fetal assessing. While obtaining fetal assessments. Which of the following should the complete for fetal well-being?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When assessing fetal well-being in a prenatal clinic, it is important to focus on factors directly related to the fetus. Fetal heart tones provide crucial information about the baby's heart rate and rhythm, indicating how well the fetus is doing. Fetal movement is another essential indicator of fetal well-being, as it shows signs of good neurological function and reactivity. Finally, measuring fundal height (the distance from the top of the uterus to the pubic bone) helps assess fetal growth and development. These three aspects - fetal heart tones, fetal movement, and fundal height - provide a comprehensive evaluation of the baby's well-being and development during pregnancy.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in the first stage of labor, undergoing external fetal monitoring, and receiving IV fluid. The nurse observes variable decelerations in the fetal heart rate on the monitor strip. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of this finding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Variable decelerations in the fetal heart rate are due to umbilical cord compression. These decelerations are characterized by an abrupt decrease in the fetal heart rate that is variable in duration, depth, and timing in relation to the uterine contraction. They can signify compression of the umbilical cord leading to transient interruption of fetal oxygen supply. It is essential for the nurse to promptly identify variable decelerations and take appropriate actions to alleviate the compression, such as repositioning the client to relieve pressure on the cord.

A nurse is admitting a client who has a diagnosis of preterm labor. The nurse anticipates a prescription by the provider for which of the following medications? (Select all that apply.)

Question 4 of 5
On admission to the nursery, a newborn is observed to be experiencing cold stress. The basis for the nursing intervention at this time would be to minimize:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cold stress in a newborn can lead to an increase in oxygen consumption as the body works harder to maintain a normal body temperature. By minimizing oxygen consumption, the nursing intervention aims to prevent excessive oxygen demand and help the newborn cope with the cold stress more effectively. This can be achieved through methods such as swaddling, warming equipment, and ensuring the baby's environment is appropriately heated to maintain a stable body temperature. Minimizing oxygen consumption can help conserve energy and promote overall well-being in the newborn.
