Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placenta previa is a contraindication for the induction of labor because the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix. Inducing labor in this situation can lead to complications such as excessive bleeding and compromised blood flow to the baby. Therefore, it is important to avoid inducing labor in cases of placenta previa to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the electronic medical record of a postpartum client. The nurse should identify that which of the following factors paces the client at risk for infection.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A midline episiotomy increases the risk for infection in postpartum clients due to the incision made in the perineum during childbirth. This incision can serve as a portal of entry for microorganisms, leading to an increased risk of infection. Meconium-stained amniotic fluid (choice A) can increase the risk of respiratory distress in the newborn but is not directly related to infection in the postpartum client. Placenta previa (choice B) is a condition during pregnancy where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, which poses risks related to bleeding rather than infection postpartum. Gestational hypertension (choice D) is a risk factor for developing preeclampsia or eclampsia during pregnancy but does not directly increase the risk of infection in the postpartum period.
