Extract:
A newborn who is postmature
Question 1 of 5

Extract:
A client who is 2 hr postpartum following a vaginal birth
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following findings indicates the client's bladder is distended?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A distended bladder displaces the fundus to the right due to pressure on the uterus. Contractions, thirst, and minimal lochia are not related to bladder distension.
Extract:
A client who was admitted to the maternity unit at 38 weeks of gestation and who is experiencing polyhydramnios
Question 3 of 5
What does this diagnosis mean?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Polyhydramnios is defined as an excessive amount of amniotic fluid, often linked to fetal anomalies or maternal conditions like diabetes. It is not directly caused by multiple fetuses, congenital anomalies alone, or elevated AFP.

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 4 of 5
What finding should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D

A newborn who has just delivered, secretions bubbling out of the nose and mouth
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse prioritize?
