A nurse who is caring for a postpartum client is concerned because the woman is at
risk for hemorrhage. Which factor in the client's history alerted the nurse to this
concern?
Correct1
Multifetal pregnancy
2
Short duration of labor
3
Previous cesarean birth
4
Age greater than 40 years
Overdistention of the uterus because of a large fetus, multiple gestation, or hydramnios
predisposes a woman to uterine atony, which may cause postpartum hemorrhage. A short
duration of labor may lead to a precipitous birth, which is potentially harmful to the fetus but
does not affect uterine contractions after the birth. Previous cesarean birth is not related;
unless uterine atony is present, hemorrhage should not occur. Age greater than 40 years is
not a factor in involution of the uterus.

A client has just been admitted with the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder.
There is a history of suicidal behavior and self-mutilation. The nurse remembers
that the main reason that clients use self-mutilation is to:
1
Control others
Correct2
Express anger or frustration
3
Convey feelings of autonomy
, 4
Manipulate family and friends
Typically, recurrent self-mutilation is an expression of intense anger, helplessness, or guilt or
is a form of self-punishment. Self-mutilation is used not to control others but for self-
validation; also, it is a means of blocking psychological pain by inducing physical pain. Self-
destructive behaviors are not an expression of autonomy but rather an expression of
negative feelings of anger, rage, and abandonment. Self-destructive behaviors represent not
an attempt to manipulate others but rather a way to blunt emotional pain.

After reading that nutrition during pregnancy is important for optimal growth and
development of a baby, a pregnant woman asks the nurse what foods she should be
eating. The nurse begins the teaching/learning process by:
Correct1
Asking the client what she usually eats at each meal
2
Explaining to the client why spicy foods should be avoided
3
Instructing the client to add calories while continuing to eat a healthy diet
4
Providing the client with a list of foods for reference when planning meals
Successful dietary teaching should incorporate the client's food preferences and dietary
patterns. Spicy foods are permissible if the client does not experience discomfort after
eating them. Instructing the client to add calories while continuing to eat a healthy diet
presupposes that the client has been eating a healthy diet. It does not provide for the
additional protein requirements of pregnancy. Providing the client with a list of foods for
reference when planning meals does not take into consideration the client's likes and
dislikes or cultural preferences.
