Nurses' Notes
Emergency Department
0735: Client reports sudden onset of nausea and vomiting, heavy vaginal bleeding with dark red blood, frequent low-intensity contractions, lower abdominal pain rated 9/10 on the Numerical Rating Scale for past two hours, and dull lower back pain rated 2/10 on the Numerical Rating Scale for the past 24 hours. Client is 30 weeks gestation (G=4 T=3 P=0 A=0 L=3) and is Rh-positive. Vital signs: T 99.8 ⁰ F (37.7 ⁰ C), P 99, RR 16, BP 112/76, pulse oximetry reading 94% on room air. Uterine tenderness present with gentle palpation. Client states they are a one-pack per day cigarette smoker and denies any alcohol or illicit drug use.


Question 1 of 5

The nurse reviews the client's admission data to begin the plan of care. Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices below to specify what condition the client is most likely experiencing, two (2) actions the nurse should take to address that condition, and two (2) parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client's progress.

Action to Take

initiate electronic fetal monitoring (EFM)
administer Rh immune globulin
assess for signs of hyperemesis gravidarum
start peripheral access device
perform an ultrasound examination

Potential Condition

placenta previa
preterm labor
placental abruption
preeclampsia

Parameter to Monitor

continuous electronic fetal monitoring (EFM)
24-hour urine specimen
strict intake & output
vital signs
serum creatinine levels

Correct Answer: B (placental abruption), A (initiate EFM, start peripheral access device), C (fetal heart rate pattern, vital signs)

Rationale: The client's heavy vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, and frequent contractions at 30 weeks suggest placental abruption. EFM and peripheral access are critical interventions, and monitoring fetal heart rate and vital signs assesses progress.
