inpatient obstetric nursing practice
exam
1.a pt is admitted to the labor unit with possible preterm labor. nitrazine
paper is use to detect amniotic fluid. the result is positive with a reading of:
7.1
2.clinical signs of hemorrhage such as BP 90/70; pulse 118, and
tachypnea can be seen when the blood loss reaches: 1500 ml
3.an appropriante action in response to a non-reactive NST is to:
consider acoustic stimulation
4.while the exact mechanism of action is not fully known, mag sulfate
inhibits smooth muscle contractions by direct effect on myometrial: calcium
activity
5.which of the following decelerations must drop at least 15 bpm from
base- line (early, late, prolonged): prolonged
6.according to the NICHD guidelines recurrent decelerations are defined
as decelerations that occur with: greater or equal to 50% UCs in any 20
1
, minute window
7.the risk of water intoxication is decreased during induction of labor
if oxytocin is given in a/an: isotonic solution
8.a fetal heart tracing shows a baseline FHR of 145, moderate variability,
early decelerations and no accelerations and no decelerations. This is a
NICHD category: I (110-160) moderate variability, no variables, no late
decals or prolonged decals
9.pain experience in the first stage of labor results primarily from: pressure
on adjacent structures and nerves
10.what are characteristics of a dizygotic pregnancy?: 2 placentas, 2
chorions and 2 amniotic sacs
11.validity as applied to a research instrument demonstrates: degree to
which the instrument measures what is was intended to measure
12.A pregnant women developed varicella-zoster at 32 weeks gestation. she
is now in active labor at 40 weeks gestation. the nurse would expect which
of the following to be appropriate?: take no action since the mother's
antibodies will be protective
13.US for antepartum testing uses high frequency sound waves to produce
an image that varies based on the: density of the structure under the
2
