er for 8 hours each day tells the nurse that her feet have begun to
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
swell. Which instruction would be most effective in preventing p
p p p p p p p p p
ooling of blood in the lower extremities? - CORRECT ANSWER-
p p p p p p p p p
Move about every hour p p p
Pooling of blood in the lower extremities results from the enlarg
p p p p p p p p p p
ed uterus exerting pressure on the pelvic veins. Moving about ev
p p p p p p p p p p
ery hour will straighten out the pelvic veins and increase venous

A 26-year-
p
old, gravida 2, para 1 client is admitted to the hospital at 28-
p p p p p p p p p p p p
weeks gestation in preterm labor. She is given 3 doses of terbuta
p p p p p p p p p p p
line sulfate (Brethine) 0.25 mg subcutaneously to stop her labor
p p p p p p p p p p
contractions. The nurse plans to monitor for which primary side p p p p p p p p p p
effect of terbutaline sulfate? - CORRECT ANSWER-
p p p p p p
Tachycardia and a feeling of nervousness p p p p p
Terbutaline sulfate (Brethine), a beta- p p p p
sympathomimetic drug, stimulates beta- p p p
adrenergic receptors in the uterine muscle to stop contractions

When do the anterior and posterior fontanels close? -
p p p p p p p p
CORRECT ANSWER-

anterior fontanel closes at 12 to 18 months and the posterior by t

When assessing a client who is at 12-
p p p p p p p
weeks gestation, the nurse recommends that she and her husband c

p p p p p p p p p p
30 weeks gestation
p p
at 30 weeks gestation is closest (of the options) to the time paren
p p p p p p p p p p p p
ts would be ready for such classes. Learning is facilitated by an int

The nurse should encourage the laboring client to begin pushing
p p p p p p p p p p
when... - CORRECT ANSWER-the cervix is completely dilated.
p p p p p p p
, HESIpRN:pMaternityp-pTestpBankpForpLPNptopRNpTransitionspAchievingpSuccesspinpyourpNewpRolep5thpEdition
Pushing begins with the second stage of labor, i.e., when the cer
p p p p p p p p p p p
vix is completely dilated at 10 cm (C). If pushing begins before th
p p p p p p p p p p p p
e cervix is completely dilated the cervix can become edematous
p p p p p p p p p p
and may never completely dilate, necessitating an operative del
p p p p p p p p
ivery. Many primigravida's begin active labor 100% effaced and
p p p p p p p p p
then proceed to dilate.

The nurse instructs a laboring client to use accelerated-
p p p p p p p p
blow breathing. The client begins to complain of tingling fingers
p p p p p p p p p p
and dizziness. What action should the nurse take? -
p p p p p p p p
CORRECT ANSWER-
p p
Have the client breathe into her cupped hands
p p p p p p p
Tingling fingers and dizziness are signs of hyperventilation (blowi
p p p p p p p p
ng off too much carbon dioxide). Hyperventilation is treated by re
p p p p p p p p p p
taining carbon dioxide. This can be facilitated by breathing into a
p p p p p p p p p p p
paper bag or cupped hands. p p p p
