clarify with the provider? - Answer-A. Perform a vaginal
examination
B. Perform continuous external fetal monitoring
C. Insert a large bore IV catheter
D. Obtain a blood sample for laboratory testing
A. Perform a vaginal examination
When a client has placenta previa, the placenta implants
in the lower part of the uterus and obstructs the cervical os
(the opening to the vagina). The nurse should clarify this
prescription because any manipulation can cause tearing
of the placenta and increased bleeding

become easier but notes an increased frequency of
urination. The nurse should document this occurrence as
which of the following? - Answer-A. Effacement

C. Impaired placental perfusion
Maternal hypotension can occur in 10% to 30% of women
who receive epidural or spinal anesthesia. This can result
in decreased blood flow to the placenta and impaired
delivery of oxygen to the fetus
A nurse in a clinic is assessing a client who is at 13 weeks

B. Ketones 2+
The greatest risk to this client is malnutrition that poses a
serious risk to the developing fetus. Ketonuria indicates
that the client's body is breaking down fat and protein
stores for energy and cannot provide the fetus with
essential nutrients. Therefore, this is the priority finding,
and the nurse should report it to the provider immediately.
