management. Which of the following nursing actions promotes client comfort?
A. Assisting the client into squatting position
B. Having the client lie in a supine position
C. Applying fundal pressure during contractions
D. Encouraging the client to void every 6 hr
option d is correct as squatting also supports & empowers the severity of contractions,
& can also ease tension in the back, and relieves pain.
a nurse is assessing a preterm newborn who is at 32 weeks of gestation period which of
the following findings should the nurse expect
a. Sparse lanugo
b. Popliteal angle of less than 90 degrees
c. creases over the entire soul
d. minimal arm recoil
A nurse is caring for a newborn immediately following birth and notes a large amount of
mucus in the newborns mouth and nose. Identify the sequence the nurse should follow
when performing suction with a bulb syringe. (Move the steps into the box on the right
placing them in the selected order of performance. Use all steps )
a. assess the newborn for reflex bradycardia
b. compress the bulb syringe
c. place the bulb syringe in the newborns mouth
d. use the bulb Syringe to suction the newborns nose

A nurse is caring for a client who is 20 weeks of gestation and has trichomoniasis.
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
a. Thick white vaginal discharge
b. Malodorous discharge
c. Vulva lesions
d. Urinary frequency
Trichomoniasis is a pretty common sexually transmitted infection that is often caused by
a parasite and causes a foul-smelling vaginal discharge. Thick white vaginal discharge
is common in women during menstruation and pregnancy but when a woman is having
Trichomoniasis, the discharge would be malodorous (unpleasant, gray or watery with
fishy odor)
A nurse is caring for a client who is 14 weeks of gestation. At which the following
locations should the nurse place the Doppler device when assessing the fetal heart
rate?
A. Midline 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 in) above the symphysis pubis
B. Left Upper Abdomen
C. Two fingerbreadths above the umbilicus
D. Lateral at the Xiphoid Process
Midline 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 in) above the symphysis pubis - irrespective of the
trimester, the midline, halfway between the symphysis pubis and the umbilicus is the
most favorable position to locate fetal heart sound
*Other options given Left Upper Abdomen, Two fingerbreadths above the umbilicus
,Lateral at the Xiphoid Process cannot be generalized as positions to locate fetal heart
sound at 14 weeks of gestation.
A nurse is assessing a client who is at 27 weeks of gestation and has preeclampsia.
Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Urine protein concentration 200 mg/ 24 hr
Creatnine 0.8 mg/ dL
Hemoglobin 14.8 g/ dL
Platelet Count 60.000/ mm3
HELLP syndrome is a complication of pre eclampsia in which Thrombocytopenia ( a
low platelet count ) is included and must be promptly reported.
Hemoglobin 14.8 g/ dL - A hb level below 12 - 16 gm /dl is considered to be normal. An
increase in free hb level causes vasoconstriction in pre eclampsia. Blood volume will not
rise in women with pre eclampsia or hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that may result
in higher hb concentration.
Creatinine 0.8 mg/ dL. Pregnancy range of creatinine value is 0.4 to 0.8 mg/dl. Increase
in GFR rate due to physiological changes during pregnancy causes decrease in serum
creatinine level. So a creatinine value of 1.0mg/dl or more may indicate severe renal
impairment in pregnant women compared to a non pregnant individual. [Show Less]
