What blood test is important for potential blood type incompatibility issues during pregnancy?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Terbutaline is used for the management of preterm labor, not postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). The medication that are contraindicated for the management of PPH include Cytotec, Hemabate, Pitocin, and Methergine. Terbutaline is not typically used for PPH as it is mainly utilized to delay preterm labor contractions and prevent premature birth.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Assessing cervical changes and fetal heart rate is essential to determine whether the client is in preterm labor.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Headache and blurred vision are signs of worsening preeclampsia, indicating potential eclampsia.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The priority action for a nurse to take when observing a slowing of the fetal heart rate after the start of a contraction, with the lowest rate occurring after the peak of the contraction, is to place the client in the lateral position. This position, specifically the left lateral position, can alleviate pressure on the vena cava, improve blood flow to the placenta, and help optimize fetal oxygenation. By changing the client's position, the nurse can potentially relieve the decelerations seen in the fetal heart rate and promote better oxygenation for the fetus. This intervention is effective and can be quickly implemented in a labor and delivery setting to support fetal well-being.
