When using the urgent vs non-urgent approach to client care, the nurse determines that the
priority action is to turn the client onto her . Late decelerations indicate that
the client might have uteroplacental insufficiency, maternal hypotension, uterine tachysystole
form oxytocin administration, or several other complicating factors. The client might be exerting
pressure on the inferior vena cava, which decreases the oxygen to the placenta and thus to the
fetus. Turning the client onto her side will relieve the pressure and facilitate better blood flow to
the placenta, thereby increasing the fetal oxygen supply. - Answer>>> left side
A contraction stress test determines how well the fetus tolerates the stress of uterine contractions.
A test is negative when there are at least - Answer>>> 3 uterine contractions in a 10-min period
with no late or significant variable decelerations during electronic fetal monitoring.
Uteroplacental insufficiency produces late decelerations
Dinoprostone is used to the cervix for the induction of labor in clients who
are at term. - Answer>>> prepare (or ripen)
A nurse is preparing a client who is in active labor for epidural analgesia. Which of the following
actions should the nurse take? - Answer>>> The nurse should obtain a 20 to 30 min EFM strip
before induction of the spinal anesthesia. The strip should be evaluated as baseline information.
After induction, fetal heart rate and pattern is assessed and documented every 5 to 10 min and
emergency care is provided for fetal distress, such as bradycardia or late decelerations.
The nurse should position the client in a sitting or side-lying position with her back curved to
widen the intervertebral space.
The nurse should inform the client that the anesthetic effect will last 1 to 3 hr.
A pattern of prolonged uterine contractions lasting more than 90 seconds is an indication that
there is inadequate uterine relaxation, this should be - Answer>>> reported to the provider
The gate control theory of pain is based on the concept of blocking or preventing the
transmission of pain signals to the brain by using distraction techniques such as - Answer>>>
massage. Massaging the client's back focuses on neuromuscular and cognitive changes.
Which of these Fetal assessment tests can be performed as early as 10 weeks gestation? -
Answer>>> Chronionic Villus Sampling
The purpose of this test is to determine if an increase in Fetal Heart Rate occurs with fetal
movement. - Answer>>> Nonstress test
A test and procedure performed after 18 weeks that extracts fetal blood from the umbilical cord -
Answer>>> Percutaneous Umbilical Blood Sampling (PUBS)
