Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 37 weeks of gestation and has placenta previa.
Question 1 of 5
The client asks the nurse why the provider does not do an internal examination. Which of the following explanations of the primary reason should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "This could result in profound bleeding." Performing an internal examination during pregnancy can potentially cause trauma to the cervix, leading to significant bleeding. This is especially concerning in pregnant individuals, as it may pose risks to both the mother and the baby. Option B is incorrect because although infection is a risk with any invasive procedure, bleeding is the primary concern in this scenario. Option C is incorrect as an internal examination typically does not initiate preterm labor unless the cervix is already predisposed to it. Option D is incorrect as rupture of the amniotic membranes is not the primary reason to avoid internal exams during pregnancy.
