Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is in labor and is to have an amniotomy. Which of the following assessments should the nurse identify as the priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Temperature. During an amniotomy, there is a risk of infection due to the introduction of bacteria into the amniotic fluid. Monitoring the client's temperature is crucial as an elevated temperature could indicate infection, which can be life-threatening for both the mother and the fetus. O2 saturation (
A), blood pressure (
C), and urinary output (
D) are important assessments but not the priority in this situation. O2 saturation is typically monitored continuously during labor, blood pressure can fluctuate during labor but is not directly impacted by amniotomy, and urinary output is important for assessing hydration status but does not take precedence over monitoring for infection.
