The nurse performs a vaginal examination to ensure which of the following prior to the performance of the amniotomy? A. Fetal engagement B. Fetal lie C. Fetal attitude D. Fetal position

2. A. CORRECT: Prior to the performance of an amniotomy, the amniotic membranes should have ruptured. It is also imperative that the fetus is engaged at 0 station and at the level of the maternal ischial spines to prevent prolapse of the umbilical cord. B. INCORRECT: Fetal lie pertains to the axis of the maternal spine in relation to the fetal spine and is determined by Leopold maneuvers. C. INCORRECT: Fetal attitude is the relationship of the fetal extremities and chin to the fetal torso. It is determined by Leopold maneuvers. D.

2. A. INCORRECT: A client who has a vaginal hematoma may report excessive pain or vaginal pressure. B. INCORRECT: Excessive spurting of bright red blood from the vagina indicates a possible cervical or perineal laceration. C. CORRECT: Lochia typically trickles from the vaginal opening but flows more steadily during uterine contractions. Massaging the uterus or ambulation may result in a gush of lochia with the expression of clots and dark blood that has been pooled in the vagina, but it should soon decrease back to a trickle of bright red lochia in the early puerperium. D. INCORRECT: Excessive blood loss consists of one pad saturated in 15 min or less or the pooling of blood under the buttocks, which is not affected by the client's postural changes.

Which of the following nonpharmacological nursing interventions is appropriate? A. Abdominal effleurage B. Sacral counterpressure C. Showering if not contraindicated D. Back rub and massage

2. A. INCORRECT: Abdominal effleurage is an appropriate pain management technique but does not address the pressure on the pelvis due to the fetal position. B. CORRECT: Sacral counterpressure to the lower back relieves the pressure exerted on the pelvis and spinal nerves by the fetus. C. INCORRECT: A shower is an appropriate pain management strategy but does not address the pressure on the pelvis due to the fetal position. D.

B. INCORRECT: Moderate variability indicates fluctuations in the fetal heart and is not an indication the fetus is receiving more oxygen. C. INCORRECT: FHR accelerations indicate an intact fetal CNS and is not an indication the fetus is receiving more oxygen. D. CORRECT: A fetus is most oxygenated during the relaxation period between contractions. During contractions, the arteries to the uteroplacental intervillous spaces are compressed, resulting in a decrease in fetal circulation and oxygenation.

3. A. INCORRECT: Poor involution is the result of uterine atony and does not cause it. B. CORRECT: Urinary retention can result in a distention of the bladder. A distended bladder can cause uterine atony and lateral displacement from the midline, usually to the right. C. INCORRECT: Hemorrhage is the result of uterine atony and does not cause it. D. INCORRECT: Infection does not cause uterine displacement or atony and would be characterized by foul-smelling vaginal discharge and elevated temperature.

But because the client had no prenatal care and is Rh-negative, there is another medication the nurse should anticipate administering. C. CORRECT: RhO(D) immune globulin (RhoGAM) is administered to a Rh-negative client at 28 weeks of gestation. Because this client had no prenatal care, it should be given prior to the version to prevent isoimmunization. D.

Therefore, the first action by the nurse is to monitor the FHR for signs of distress. C. INCORRECT: The nurse should provide comfort by drying the client following rupture of the membranes, but this is not the first action the nurse should take. D.

4. A. INCORRECT: Although cord prolapse is a risk with rupture of membranes, it occurs when the fluid rushes out, rather than trickling or leaking out. B. CORRECT: Rupture of membranes for longer than 24 hr prior to delivery increases the risk that infectious organisms will enter the vagina and then eventually into the uterus. C. INCORRECT: The risk for postpartum hemorrhage by this client is not any greater than other clients who are pregnant. D. INCORRECT: This client is more likely to have oligohydramnios or insufficient amniotic fluid, rather than hydramnios, or excess amniotic fluid.
