Extract:
A newborn delivered via emergency cesarean birth for abruptio placenta and non-reassuring fetal heart rate, Apgar score 5 at 1 min, positive pressure ventilation given for 1 min followed by free flow oxygen
Question 1 of 5
What finding should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D

Extract:
An adolescent client who has pelvic inflammatory disease due to a sexually transmitted infection, concerned about parental disclosure
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

Question 3 of 5
Which of the following complications poses the greatest risk for the client?
