"Have you noticed any bloody show or fluid coming from your vagina?" c. "What happens to your contractions when you move about?" d. "Have you felt fetal movement over the last 24 hours?" b. "Have you noticed any bloody show or fluid coming from your vagina?" Vaginal discharge of blood or fluid may indicate cervical dilation, and potentially rupture of membranes. False labor is characterized by painless, irregular, and intermittent contractions that decrease in frequency, duration, and intensity with walking or position changes. Contractions are felt in the lower back or above the umbilicus and often stop with comfort measures (like oral hydration). There is usually no vaginal discharge with false labor. False labor is characterized by painless, irregular, and intermittent contractions that decrease in frequency, duration, and intensity with walking or position changes. Telling the client to walk is not a correct response because it is an intervention rather than an assessment question. The client who is scheduled for a nonstress test (NST) asks the nurse to explain the purpose of the test. Which of the following is the correct response? Select one: a. The purpose of the NST is to assess the fetal CNS. b. The purpose of the NST helps to determine gestational age. c. The purpose of the NST is to determine fetal lie. d. The purpose of the NST is to determine fetal breathing. a. The purpose of the NST is to assess the fetal CNS. This is the primary purpose of a NST. The test monitors the response of the FHR to fetal movement. This allows the nurse to assess the FHR in relationship to the fetal movement A client in the early postpartum period is talkative and enjoys recounting the details of her labor and birth. The nurse recognizes that the behaviors must likely indicate which of the following? Select one: a. The taking-hold phase of maternal psychosocial adaptation. b. The taking-in phase of maternal postpartum adjustment. c. Postpartum role transition. d. Positive mother-infant bonding. b. The taking-in phase of maternal postpartum adjustment. The taking-in phase begins immediately following birth and lasts a few hours to a couple of days. It is characterized by the mother being excited and talkative, reliving her birthing experience, and focusing on her own needs and the overall health of her newborn. The taking-hold phase of maternal postpartum adjustment begins on the second to third post-partum day and lasts 10 days to several weeks.

Postpartum depression may occur during this time. A nurse is positioning a client on the operating room table in preparation for a cesarean birth. Which of the following is the correct position? Select one: a. Lithotomy position with a foam wedge behind the shoulders. b. Supine position with foam wedge positioned under one hip. C c. Modified Trendelenburg position with a foam wedge under the legs. d. Left lateral position with a foam wedge between the legs. b. Supine position with foam wedge positioned under one hip. The supine position is appropriate for abdominal surgery (cesarean birth), and a wedge under one hip laterally tilts the client and reduces uterine weight on the vena cava and descending aorta. This helps maintain optimal perfusion of oxygenated blood to the fetus during the procedure. A nurse is caring for a neonate who exhibits abstinence syndrome and demonstrates clinical manifestations of the condition. Which assessment finding is associate with this condition? Select one: a. Negative Startle reflex b. Hypothermia c. Increased drowiness d. Diminished tendon reflexes b. Hypothermia Thermal regulation issues are noted with this condition, such as hypothermia or hyperthermia. the neonate will demonstate increase wakefulness, sleep pattern disturbances and shrilled high-pitched cries.

Hold and comfort the infant to stop the crying. b. Feed the infant oral feeding. c. Perform a heel stick to check serum glucose. d. Obtain an order for a drug screening blood test. c. Perform a heel stick to check serum glucose. The priority action is to confirm the serum glucose before proceeding. A blood glucose level less than 40-45 mg/dL by heel stick is an urgent situation requiring therapy with glucose - generally orally. A nurse is assessing a client during her first prenatal visit. The client reports that her last normal period began on April 22. Use Nagele's rule to calculate this client's expected date of birth (EDB). Use the MMDD format to enter exactly four numerals, with no spaces or punctuation between the numbers. Select one: a. 0729 b. 0129 c. 0122 d. 0722 b. 0129 To use Nagele's rule subtract 3 months and add 7 days to the first day of the client's last normal menstrual period.

The fundus will be at the level of the umbilicus. c. The fundus will be one centimeter below the umbilicus. The fundus descends 1-2 cms per day, so from the highest point of 1 cm above the umbilicus at 12 hours, it should be 0 to 1 cms below the umbilicus on day two A nurse is teaching a client the correct use a diaphragm as a method of contraception. Which of the following statements is correct? Select one: a. Douche promptly after removing the diaphragm b. Do not use any cream or jelly with the diaphragm c.

In true labor the cervix will dilate and efface Progressive changes in dilation and effacement are the ultimate signs of true labor.
