Question 5 of 5
After delivery it is determined there is a placental accreta, what intervention should the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the case of placental accreta, where the placenta is abnormally attached to the uterine wall, it can be very difficult to detach the placenta without significant bleeding. In severe cases, the safest intervention to prevent life-threatening hemorrhage is a hysterectomy, which involves the removal of the uterus. This is a serious surgical procedure that may be necessary to save the mother's life. Other interventions mentioned in the options (IV antibiotic, IV Pitocin, 2L oxygen by mask) may be part of the management plan but would not address the underlying issue of placental accreta like a hysterectomy would.
