Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of a potential complication of pregnancy? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: D,E,F
Rationale: The correct answers are D (Weight), E (Heart rate), and F (Urine-specific gravity). Weight gain outside the recommended range can indicate conditions like preeclampsia or gestational diabetes. Abnormal heart rate may suggest cardiac issues or preeclampsia.

Question 2 of 5
Select the 3 findings that require immediate follow-up.
Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale: The correct findings that require immediate follow-up are B: Lateral deviation of the uterus, C: Large amount of lochia rubra, and D: Uterine tone soft. Lateral deviation of the uterus could indicate a uterine anomaly or complication post-delivery. Large amount of lochia rubra may suggest excessive bleeding, which needs to be assessed promptly. Soft uterine tone can be a sign of uterine atony, a serious postpartum complication. Peripheral edema, soft breasts, low deep tendon reflexes, and mild pain rating do not typically require immediate intervention or follow-up.
