60Q&A

A nurse is caring for a client who has uterine atony and is experiencing postpartum hemorrhage. Which of the following actions is the nurse's top priority? a) check client's capillary refill b) massage the client's fundus c) insert an indwelling urinary catheter for the client d) Prepare the client for a blood transfusion. b) massage the fundus Uterine atony and postpartum hemorrhage indicate that this client is at the greatest risk for hypovolemic shock. This can compromise the perfusion to the client's vital organs, which can lead to death. Therefore, the nurse's priority is to massage the client's fundus to minimize blood loss. All the other answers are actions the nurse should take, but the priority is massaging the fundus. A nurse is caring for a client who is to receive oxytocin to augment her labor. Which of the following findings contraindicates the initiation of the oxytocin infusion and should be reported to the provider? a) Late decelerations b) Moderate variability of the FHR c) Cessation of uterine dilation d) Prolonged active phase of labor A) Late decelerations Late decelerations are indicative of uteroplacental insufficiency. Therefore, this is a contraindication for the administration of oxytocin and should be reported to the provider.

Moderate variability of the FHR is an expected assessment finding associated with normal fetal acid-base balance. It is not a contraindication to the administration of oxytocin. Cessation of uterine dilation is an indication for the initiation of an oxytocin infusion to augment the client's labor progression. A prolonged active phase of labor is an indication for the initiation of an oxytocin infusion to augment the client's labor progression. A nurse is assessing a client who has severe preeclampsia. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect? a) 2+ deep tendon reflexes b) Proteinuria of 200 mg in a 24-hr specimen c) Polyuria d) Blurred vision d) Blurred vision The nurse should identify that a client who has severe preeclampsia can have arteriolar vasospasms and decreased blood flow to the retina which can lead to visual disturbances, such as blurred vision, double vision, or dark spots in the visual field. Patient would have 3+ or 4+ DTRs, proteinuria >500 mg, decreased urine output of 20 mL/hr A nurse is assessing a client who is 1 day postpartum and has a vaginal hematoma. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect? a) Lochia serosa vaginal drainage b) Vaginal pressure c) Intermittent vaginal pain d) Yellow exudate vaginal drainage b) Vaginal pressure The nurse should expect a client who has a vaginal hematoma to report pressure in the vagina due to the blood that leaked into the tissues.

Patient will report persistent, not intermittent pain and lochia rubra. A nurse is caring for a client who is at 36 weeks of gestation and has as positive contraction stress test. The nurse should plan to prepare the client for which of the following diagnostic tests? a) Biophysical profile b) Amniocentesis c) Cordocentesis d) Kleihauer-Betke test a) Biophysical profile A positive contraction stress test indicates that further evaluation of the fetus is necessary. A biophysical profile will provide further evaluation with a real-time ultrasound. An amniocentesis is used to determine lung maturity, detect congenital anomalies, and diagnose fetal hemolytic disease. A cordocentesis is used to identify fetal blood type and RBC when there is a risk of isoimmune hemolytic anemia. The Kleihauer-Betke test is used to determine the amount of fetal blood in the maternal circulation when there is a risk of Rh-isoimmunization. A nurse is providing teaching for a client who has a new prescription for combined oral contraceptives. Which of the following findings should the nurse include as an adverse effect of this medication? a) Depression b) Polyuria c) Hypotension d) Urticaria a) Depression

The nurse should instruct the client that depression is a common adverse effect of combined oral contraceptives. Other common adverse effects of the medication include amenorrhea, weight gain, headache, nausea, breakthrough bleeding, and breast tenderness. Fluid retention can occur due to an excess of estrogen. Polyuria is not a common adverse effect of the medication. Hypertension, rather than hypotension, is a common adverse effect of combined oral contraceptives. Urticaria is not a common adverse effect of combined oral contraceptives. A nurse is caring for a postpartum client who is receiving heparin via a continuous IV infusion for thrombophlebitis in her left calf. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? a) Administer aspirin for pain. b) Maintain the client on bed rest. c) Massage the affected leg every 12 hr. d) Apply cold compresses to the affected calf. b) Maintain the client on bed rest. The client should remain on bed rest to decrease the risk of dislodging the clot, which could cause a pulmonary embolism. Elevation of the affected leg is recommended. A client receiving anticoagulant therapy, such as heparin, should not receive aspirin because it can lead to prolonged clotting times and increased risk of bleeding.

The nurse should avoid massaging the affected leg to decrease the risk of dislodging the clot, which could cause a pulmonary embolism. The nurse should apply warm compresses to the affected area to promote circulation and decrease edema. A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is at 40 weeks of gestation and has a new prescription for misoprostol. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching? a) "I can administer oxytocin 4 hours after the insertion of the medication." b) "You will need a full bladder prior to the insertion of the medication." c) "Remain in a side-lying position for 15 minutes after the medication is inserted." d) "An antacid will be given 20 minutes prior to the insertion of the medication." a) "I can administer oxytocin 4 hours after the insertion of the medication." The nurse can administer oxytocin no sooner than 4 hr after the last dose of misoprostol. Oxytocin can be administered following misoprostol for clients who have cervical ripening and have not begun labor. The nurse should instruct the client to void prior to the administration of the medication. The nurse should instruct the client to remain in a side-lying position for 30 to 40 min after the insertion. The nurse should avoid administering aluminum hydroxide and magnesium-containing antacids with misoprostol.

A nurse is assessing four newborns. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider? a) A newborn who is 26 hr old and has erythema toxicum on his face b) A newborn who is 32 hr old and has not passed a meconium stool c) A newborn who is 12 hr old and has pink-tinged urine d) A newborn who is 18 hr old and has an axillary temperature of 37.7° C (99.9° F) d) A newborn who is 18 hr old and has an axillary temperature of 37.7° C (99.9° F) An axillary temperature greater than 37.5° C (99.5° F) is above the expected reference range for a newborn and can be an indication of sepsis. Therefore, the nurse should report this finding to the provider. Pink-tinged urine is an indication of uric acid crystals and is an expected finding for a newborn during the first week following birth. A newborn should pass the first meconium stool within the first 24 to 48 hr following birth. Failure to pass a meconium stool can indicate a bowel obstruction or congenital disorder. This finding is within the expected reference range. Erythema toxicum is a transient rash that can appear anywhere on a newborn's body during the first 24 to 72 hr following birth and can last up to 3 weeks. This finding requires no treatment. A nurse is caring for a client who is at 30 weeks of gestation and has a prescription for magnesium sulfate IV to treat preterm labor. The nurse should notify the provider of which of the following adverse effects?

a) Client reports nausea b) Urinary output of 40 mL/hr c) Respiratory rate 10/min d) Client reports feeling flushed c) Respiratory rate 10/min The nurse should report a respiratory rate of less than 12/min to the provider, because this is a manifestation of magnesium toxicity. The nurse should ensure that the antidote, calcium gluconate, is readily available. Oliguria is a manifestation of magnesium toxicity. The nurse should report a urinary output of less than 25 to 30 mL/hr to the provider. Nausea is an expected adverse effect of magnesium sulfate. The nurse should reassure the client and provide comfort measures. Flushing and feeling hot is an expected adverse effect of magnesium sulfate. The nurse should reassure the client and provide comfort measures. A nurse is teaching a client who is at 10 weeks of gestation about nutrition during pregnancy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching? a) "I should increase my protein intake to 60 grams each day." b) "I should drink 2 liters of water each day." c) "I should increase my overall daily caloric intake by 300 calories." d) "I should take 600 micrograms of folic acid each day." d) "I should take 600 micrograms of folic acid each day."

A client who is pregnant should increase folic acid intake to 600 mcg daily. Folic acid assists with preventing neural tube birth defects. A client who is pregnant should increase protein intake to 71 g each day during the second and third trimesters. A client who is pregnant should consume 3 L of water each day. A client who is pregnant should increase caloric intake by 340 cal during the second trimester and by 452 cal during the third trimester. A nurse is assessing a late preterm newborn. Which of the following manifestations is an indication of hypoglycemia? a) Hypertonia b) Increased feeding c) Hyperthermia d) Respiratory distress d) Respiratory distress Late preterm newborns are at an increased risk for hypoglycemia due to decreased glycogen stores and immature insulin secretion. Respiratory distress is a manifestation of hypoglycemia. Other manifestations of hypoglycemia include an abnormal cry, jitteriness, lethargy, poor feeding, apnea, and seizures. A hypoglycemic newborn can exhibit HYPOtonia, POOR feeding behaviors, and HYPOthermia.

A nurse in a prenatal clinic is assessing a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse see first? a) A client who is at 11 weeks of gestation and reports abdominal cramping b) A client who is at 15 weeks of gestation and reports tingling and numbness in right hand c) A client who is at 20 weeks of gestation and reports constipation for the past 4 days d) A client who is at 8 weeks of gestation and reports having three bloody noses in the past week a) A client who is at 11 weeks of gestation and reports abdominal cramping Abdominal cramping can indicate an ectopic pregnancy or manifestations of spontaneous abortion. The nurse should request that the provider see this client first. The other three findings are common discomforts related to pregnancy for their gestation. A nurse is demonstrating to a client how to bathe their newborn. In which order should the nurse perform the following actions? The nurse should demonstrate how to bathe a newborn by using a head to toe, clean to dirty, approach. Therefore, the nurse should first wipe the newborn's eyes from the inner canthus outward using plain water. The nurse should then wash the newborn's neck by lifting the newborn's chin. Next, the nurse should cleanse the skin around the umbilical cord stump followed by washing the newborn's legs and feet. The last step of the bath should be to clean the newborn's diaper area.

A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about collecting a specimen for the universal newborn screening. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching? a) "Obtain an informed consent prior to obtaining the specimen." b) "Collect at least 1 milliliter of urine for the test." c) "Ensure that the newborn has been receiving feedings for 24 hours prior to obtaining the specimen." d) "Premature newborns may have false negative tests due to immature development of liver enzymes." c) "Ensure that the newborn has been receiving feedings for 24 hours prior to obtaining the specimen." The nurse should ensure that the newborn has been receiving regular feedings for at least 24 hr prior to testing. The universal newborn screening is mandated by law for all newborns. Therefore, the nurse does not need to obtain informed consent prior to obtaining the specimen. The nurse should collect a capillary blood sample via heel stick for the newborn screening. Urine is not collected for this test. Premature newborns have a delayed development of liver enzymes which can cause a false POSITIVE result. A nurse is creating a plan of care for a client who is postpartum and adhere to traditional Hispanic cultural beliefs. Which of the following cultural practices should the nurse include in the plan of care? a) Protect the client's head and feet from cold air. b) Bathe the client within 12 hr following birth.

c) Ambulate the client within 24 hr following birth. d) Offer the client a glass of cold milk with her first meal. a) Protect the client's head and feet from cold air. Protecting the client's head and feet from cold air should be included in the plan of care because this is a traditional Hispanic practice during the postpartum period. Bathing the client within 12 hr following birth should not be included in the plan of care because traditional Hispanic practices include delaying bathing for 14 days following birth. Ambulating the client within 24 hr following birth should not be included in the plan of care because traditional Hispanic practices include bed rest for 3 days following birth. Offering the client a glass of cold milk with her first meal should not be included in the plan of care because traditional Hispanic practices include drinking warm beverages following birth. A nurse is assessing a newborn who was born at 26 weeks of gestation using the New Ballard Score. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? a) Minimal arm recoil b) Popliteal angle of 90° c) Creases over the entire foot sole d) Raised areolas with 3 to 4 mm buds a) Minimal arm recoil The nurse should expect a newborn who was born at 26 weeks of gestation to have decreased muscular tone, or minimal arm recoil.

All other findings are indicators of physical maturity with increasing gestational age after 26 weeks. A nurse is caring for a client who is at 15 weeks o gestation, is Rh- negative, and has just had an amniocentesis. Which of the following interventions is the nurse's priority following the procedure? a) Check the client's temperature. b) Observe for uterine contractions. c) Administer Rho(D) immune globulin. d) Monitor the FHR. d) Monitor the FHR. The greatest risk to this client and her fetus is fetal death. Therefore, the priority nursing intervention is to monitor the FHR following an amniocentesis. The check should also check temperature for infection, uterine contractions for preterm labor, and Rhogam to prevent Rh sensitiivation; however, these are not priority interventions. A nurse is assessing a newborn who is 16 hr old. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider? a) Substernal retractions b) Acrocyanosis c) Overlapping suture lines d) Head circumference 33 cm (13 in) a) Substernal retractions

The nurse should identify that substernal retractions, apnea, grunting, nasal flaring, and tachypnea are manifestations of neonatal infection or respiratory distress in the newborn. The nurse should report these findings to the provider for immediate intervention. All other options are expected findings/variations/measurements. A nurse is performing a physical assessment of a newborn upon admission to the nursery. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.) a) Yellow sclera b) Acrocyanosis c) Posterior fontanel larger than the anterior fontanel d) Positive Babinski reflex e) Two umbilical arteries visible b, d,ee Yellow sclera is incorrect. Yellow sclera is an indication of hyperbilirubinemia and is not an expected manifestation. Acrocyanosis is correct. Acrocyanosis is an expected finding for at least the first 24 hr following birth. Poor peripheral perfusion leads to bluish discoloration in the newborn's hands and feet.Posterior fontanel larger than the anterior fontanel is incorrect. The posterior fontanel is located on the back of the newborn's head and is a small triangular shape. The anterior fontanel is diamond shaped and approximately 5 cm (2 in) long. It is located on the top of the newborn's head and is larger than the posterior fontanel.Positive Babinski reflex is correct. Newborns should exhibit a positive Babinski sign following birth. The nurse should stroke the newborn's foot upward from the heel to the toes. The toes should hyperextend, and dorsal flexion of the big toe should occur. The absence of this finding requires neurological evaluation. The Babinski reflex is no longer present after 1 year of age.Two umbilical arteries visible is correct.

The nurse should observe two arteries and one vein in the umbilical cord. The presence of only one artery can indicate a renal anomaly. A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing preeclampsia and has a new prescription for IV magnesium sulfate. Which of the following medications should the nurse anticipate administering if the client develops magnesium toxicity? a) Calcium gluconate b) Hydraliazine c) Medroxyprogesterone acetate d) Methylergonovine a) Calcium gluconate The nurse should anticipate administering calcium gluconate if the client develops magnesium toxicity. Calcium gluconate is the antidote. Hydralazine is an antihypertensive medication that can be administered to clients who have hypertension during pregnancy, Medroxyprogesterone acetate is an injectable contraceptive hormone Methylergonovine is used to treat postpartum hemorrhage A nurse is teaching a client who is at 37 weeks of gestation and has a prescription for a nonstress test. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include? a) "The test should take 10 to 15 minutes to complete." b) "You will lay in a supine position throughout the test."

c) "You should not eat or drink for 2 hours before the test." d) "You should press the handheld button when you feel your baby move." d) "You should press the handheld button when you feel your baby move." The nurse should instruct the client to press the handheld button when the fetus moves. This action will mark the fetal monitor tracing with the client's reports of fetal movement. This will assist in the interpretation of the nonstress test to determine if it is reactive or nonreactive. The nurse should instruct the client that the nonstress will take approximately 20 to 30 min, but more time might be required if the fetus is in a sleep state when the testing begins. The client is not required to be NPO before or during the procedure. The nurse can suggest the client drink orange juice to increase her blood glucose level which will stimulate fetal movements. A nurse is providing education about family bonding to parents who recently adopted a newborn. The nurse should make which of the following suggestions to aid the family's 7-year-old child in accepting the new family member? a. Allow the sibling to hold the newborn during a bath. b. Make sure the sibling kisses the newborn each night. c. Obtain a gift from the newborn to present to the sibling. d. Switch the sibling's room with the nursery. c. Obtain a gift from the newborn to present to the sibling. Presenting a gift from the newborn to the sibling is a strategy to facilitate a school-age sibling's acceptance of a new family member. This ensures that the sibling does not feel left out and that they understand their role in the family.

Allowing the sibling to hold the newborn during a bath is not an appropriate activity for a school-age child because of the safety risk. However, the parents could let the sibling assist with other things in regard to caring for the newborn. Forcing interactions between the sibling and the adoptive newborn can cause anger on the part of the sibling. It is more important to allow feelings to evolve naturally as the family unit bonds. Switching the sibling's room with the newborn's room might cause jealousy of the newborn or cause the sibling to feel that the newborn is taking their belongings. A nurse is caring for a client who is at 35 weeks gestation and is undergoing a nonstress test that reveals a variable deceleration in the FHR. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? a. Give the client orange juice. b. Elevate the client's legs. c. Have the client change position. d. Establish IV access. c. Have the client change position. Having the client change position is an appropriate intervention for a variable deceleration to relieve umbilical cord compression. Giving the client orange juice is not an appropriate intervention for a variable deceleration in the FHR. Elevating the client's legs is an acceptable intervention for late decelerations associated with maternal hypotension.

Establishing IV access is not indicated at this time. A nurse is assessing a client who is at 38 weeks of gestation during a weekly prenatal visit. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider? a. Blood pressure 136/88 mm Hg b. Report of insomnia c. Weight gain of 2.2 kg (4.8 lb) d. Report of Braxton Hicks contractions c. Weight gain of 2.2 kg (4.8 lb) A weight gain of 2.2 kg (4.8 lb) in a week is above the expected reference range and could indicate complications. Therefore, this finding should be reported to the provider. A blood pressure of 136/88 mm Hg is within the expected reference range for a client who is at 38 weeks of gestation. Therefore, this finding does not need to be reported to the provider. A regular occurrence of insomnia can be expected for a client who is at 38 weeks of gestation. Therefore, this finding does not need to be reported to the provider. Braxton Hicks contractions can be expected for a client who is at 38 weeks of gestation. Therefore, this finding does not need to be reported to the provider.

A nurse is providing teaching for a client who gave birth 2 hr ago about the facility policy for newborn safety. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching? a. "My sister will be able to carry my baby from the nursery to my room when she arrives." b. "The nurse will match my wrist band to my baby's crib card when they bring him to me." c. "The person who comes to take my baby's pictures will be wearing a photo identification badge." d. "My baby doesn't need to wear the electronic security bracelet when he's in my room." c. "The person who comes to take my baby's pictures will be wearing a photo identification badge." All personnel working on the unit should be wearing a photo identification badge. The nurse should instruct the parent to never allow anyone who is not wearing an identification badge to come in contact with the newborn. A newborn should always be transported in a bassinet when outside the parent's room. The nurse will match the newborn's identification number with the parent's identification number when they bring the newborn to the parent's room. The newborn should wear the electronic security bracelet at all times. The bracelet is set to alarm if anyone removes the bracelet or if the newborn is brought near an exit door. A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving morphine via IV bolus for pain following a cesarean birth. The nurse notes a respiratory rate of 8/min. Which of the following medications should the nurse administer?

a. Fentanyl b. Butorphanol c. Naloxone d. Meperidine c. Naloxone Morphine is a common opioid analgesic used for postoperative pain management that can cause central nervous system depression and can cause respiratory depression. The nurse should administer naloxone, an opioid antagonist, to reverse the opioid-induced respiratory depression in the client. The nurse should administer fentanyl to the client for the relief of severe, recurrent, or persistent pain during labor. Fentanyl is most commonly administered via PCA pump or epidural, alone or with a local anesthetic agent. An adverse effect of this medication is respiratory depression. The nurse should administer butorphanol to the client for the relief of labor pain and severe postoperative pain after cesarean birth. An adverse effect of this medication is respiratory depression. The nurse should administer meperidine to the client for the relief of severe, persistent pain. An adverse effect of this medication is respiratory depression. A nurse is performing a routine assessment on a client who is at 18 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? a. Deep tendon reflexes 4+ b. Fundal height 14 cm c. Urine protein 2+

d. FHR 152/min d. FHR 152/min The expected range for the FHR is 110/min to 160/min. The FHR is higher earlier in gestation with an average of approximately 160/min at 20 weeks of gestation. Therefore, this is an expected finding by the nurse. Deep tendon reflexes (DTRs) are an indication of the balance between the cerebral cortex and spinal cord. The nurse should expect the client's DTR to be 2+. Therefore, a DTR of 4+ indicates hyperreflexia. From gestational weeks 18 to 32, the height of the fundus is approximately equal to the number of weeks of gestation plus or minus 2 cm. Therefore, the nurse should expect the fundal height for this client should be 16 to 20 cm. The nurse should expect the urine protein for this client to be less than 1+. A urine protein concentration of 2+ is an indication of preeclampsia. Therefore, the nurse should investigate this finding further. A nurse in an antepartum clinic is providing care for a client who is at 26 weeks of gestation. Upon reviewing the client's medical record, which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider? 1-hr glucose tolerance test 120 mg/dL Hematocrit 34% Fundal height measurement 30 cm Fetal heart rate (FHR) 110/min Fundal height measurement A fundal height measurement of 30 cm should be reported to the provider. Fundal height should be measured in centimeters and is the same as the

number of gestational weeks plus or minus 2 weeks from 18 to 32 weeks gestation. Therefore, the nurse should report this finding to the provider. A glucose tolerance test result of 120 mg/dL is within the expected reference range for this client. A value of 130 to 140 mg/dL or greater for a 1-hr glucose tolerance test indicates a positive test result and should be reported to the provider. A hematocrit of 34% is within the expected reference range for this client. The level should be greater than 33%. This FHR is within the expected reference range of 110/min to 160/min for a client at 26 weeks of gestation. A nurse is developing a plan of care for a newborn who is to undergo phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan? Feed the newborn 1 oz of water every 4 hr. Apply lotion to the newborn's skin three times per day. Remove all clothing from the newborn except the diaper. Discontinue therapy if the newborn develops a rash. Remove all clothing from the newborn except the diaper. The nurse should remove all the newborn's clothing except the diaper while under phototherapy. Maximum skin exposure to the ultraviolet light is needed to break down the excess bilirubin. The nurse should not feed the newborn any water or glucose water. Hydration can be maintained through regular breastfeeding or formula feeding. Water and glucose water do not increase the excretion rate of bilirubin in the stool or provide nutritional value.

The nurse should not apply lotion, ointments, or creams to a newborn who is undergoing phototherapy. Lotions, ointments, and creams can absorb heat and lead to burns. The nurse should not discontinue phototherapy if the newborn develops a rash. A temporary, fine rash can occur during therapy. This rash requires no treatment. A nurse is assessing a newborn who was delivered vaginally and experienced a tight nuchal cord. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? Bruising over the buttocks Hard nodules on the roof of the mouth Petechiae over the head Bilateral periauricular papillomas Petechiae over the head Nuchal cord, or the umbilical cord being wrapped tightly around the neck, can cause bruising and petechiae over the face, head, and neck. A breech birth can cause bruising over the buttocks and swollen genitalia. Inclusion cysts, or whitish hard nodules on the gums or roof of the mouth, can be an expected finding. These are also called Epstein pearls. Bilateral periauricular papillomas are benign skin tags that can be an expected finding.

A nurse is caring for a client who is at 38 weeks of gestation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take prior to applying an external transducer for fetal monitoring? Determine progression of dilatation and effacement. Perform Leopold maneuvers. Complete a sterile speculum exam. Prepare a Nitrazine paper test. Perform Leopold maneuvers. The nurse should perform Leopold maneuvers to assess the position of the fetus to best determine the optimal placement for the external fetal monitoring transducer. The nurse should determine the client's dilation and effacement prior to applying an internal monitor. This action is not required prior to applying an external transducer for fetal monitoring. A sterile speculum examination should be performed by the provider and is not required prior to applying an external transducer for fetal monitoring. A Nitrazine paper test is performed to assess the components (pH level) of vaginal fluid to determine if the membranes have ruptured. This action is not required prior to applying an external transducer for fetal monitoring. A nurse is assessing a newborn 12 hr after birth. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse report to the provider? Acrocyanosis Transient strabismus Jaundice

Caput succedaneum Jaundice Jaundice occurring within the first 24 hr of birth is associated with ABO incompatibility, hemolysis, or Rh-isoimmunization. The nurse should report this manifestation to the provider. Acrocyanosis is a bluish discoloration of the hands and feet and is an expected finding in a newborn 24 to 48 hr after birth. Transient strabismus is a normal variation in the newborn's eyes that can persist until the third or fourth month of age. Caput succedaneum is a benign, edematous area of the scalp and is commonly found on the occiput. A nurse is transporting a newborn back to the patient's room following a procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? Verify that the parent's identification band matches the newborn's identification band. Scan the newborn's identification band to verify their identity. Check the newborn's security tag number to ensure it matches the newborn's medical record. Match the newborn's date and time of birth to the information in the parent's medical record. Verify that the parent's identification band matches the newborn's identification band. The nurse should verify the newborn's identity every time the newborn is returned to the parents. The nurse should match the information on the

parent's identification band to the information on the newborn's identification band. Scanning the newborn's identification band to verify their identity does not ensure the newborn is being transferred to the correct parent. Comparing the newborn's security tag number to the newborn's medical record does not ensure the newborn is being transferred to the correct parent. It is not necessary for the nurse to check the parent's medical record. The nurse should match the information on the parent's identification band to the information on the newborn's identification band. A nurse is caring for a client who is at 32 weeks of gestation and has gonorrhea. The nurse should identify that teh client is at an increased risk for which of the following complications? Excessive bleeding Oligohydramnios Premature rupture of membranes Proteinuria Premature rupture of membranes The nurse should identify that a client who is pregnant and has gonorrhea is at an increased risk for premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis, preterm birth, neonatal sepsis, and intrauterine growth restriction. Oligohydramnios is a decrease in amniotic fluid and is associated with congenital anomalies such as renal agenesis and intrauterine growth restriction.
