With regard to the care management of preterm labor should the nurse should be aware of?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Preterm labor is diagnosed based on a combination of factors including gestational age (typically less than 37 weeks), uterine activity (regular, painful contractions), and progressive changes in the cervix (dilation, effacement, or both). It is important for the nurse to be aware of these criteria to promptly recognize and manage preterm labor to reduce the risk of complications for both the mother and the baby. Early detection and timely intervention can help improve outcomes for preterm infants.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Directing a fan towards a newborn can cause heat loss by convection. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of air or water. In this case, the fan blowing cool air directly on the infant can cause heat loss from the baby's body. Newborns have limited ability to regulate their body temperature, so it's important to keep them comfortably warm by using appropriate clothing and blankets rather than exposing them to direct air flow from a fan.
