Question 2

The postpartal client develops breast engorgement and asks for advice concerning breastfeeding. The
nurse should tell the client to:
Choose one answer.
a. Get an antibiotic from the physician and start the baby on bottle feedings
b. Start to wean the baby from the breast to reduce pain
c. Pump her breasts and wear a loose fitting bra to suppress milk production
d. Breastfeed often because this will keep the breasts empty and reduce pain
This will fade as the infant sucks and empties the breasts of milk. Some mothers find that warm packs
applied for about 20 minutes before feeding afford the most relief. In addition, good breast support
from a firm fitting bra prevents a pulling and heavy feeling.

relation to the vagina

b. A hysterectomy will be required in the future
c. No specific restrictions are necessary
d. Avoid pregnancy for a year
Gestational trophoblastic disease or hydatidiform mole is the proliferation and degeneration of the
trophoblastic villi. As the cells degenerate, they become filled with fluid and appear as fluid-filled,
grape-sized vesicles. Hydatidiform moles may be precancerous. The hormones involved pregnancy
may increase the patient’s risk of cancer.The woman is usually advised to use a reliable contraceptive
method such as an oral contraceptive so that a positive pregnancy test ( the presence of hCG)
resulting from a new pregnancy will not be confused with the increasing levels and the developing
malignancy. The other options are incorrect.

b. Reduce edema and numb the tissue
c. Promote healing and provide comfort

Warm, moist heat is employed after the first 24 hours following a vaginal birth to provide comfort,
promote healing, and reduce the incidence of infection. Ice is used the first 24 hours to reduce the
edema and numb the tissue. Stimulation of peristalsis is better achieved by ambulation. A sitz bath
may provide comfort for hemorrhoids but does not prevent them.

Choose one answer.
a. Decreased serum progesterone level
b. Elevated human chorionic gonadotropin level (HCG)
c. Decreased serum estrogen level
d. Elevated serum glucose level
Several theories suggest that rapidly increasing levels of HCG in early pregnancy may be the cause of
severe nausea and vomiting that persist for a prolonged time. Serum estrogen level is elevated during
pregnancy. Elevation may contribute to nausea and vomiting. Serum progesterone level is elevated
during pregnancy and does not contribute to nausea and vomiting. Serum glucose level should not be
elevated in pregnancy and does not cause nausea and vomiting unless severely elevated.

The nurse is assessing a client who has been admitted to the labor and delivery area. Which technique
does the nurse use to determine fetal position and presentation?
Choose one answer.
a. Palpation of contractions
b. Leopold's maneuvers
c. Abdominal ultrasonography
d. Fetal heart tone auscultation
Leopold's maneuvers, a series of abdominal palpations, are used to determine fetal position,
presentation, and lie. First maneuver determines whether fetal head or breech is in the fundus. Second
maneuver locates the back of the fetus. Third maneuver determines the part of the fetus at the inlet
and its mobility. Fourth maneuver determines fetal attitudes and degree of fetal extension into the
pelvis, it should be done only if the fetus is in cephalic peresention. Information about the infant’s
anterior position may also be gained from this maneuver.
Abdominal ultrasonography is used throughout pregnancy to determine the positions of the uterus and
cervix, detect an abnormal fetus, determine the number of fetuses, take fetal measurements, and
estimate gestational age. Fetal heart tone auscultation is done to assess the fetal heart rate. Palpation
of contractions helps to distinguish true labor contractions from Braxton Hicks contractions.

b. Elongation of the urethra by 1.5 to 3 inches
c. Hydroureter
d. Loss of teeth due to depletion of calcium and phosphorous stores
Loss of teeth due to depletion of calcium and phosphorus stores is not within normal limits of pregnancy because if calcium is
inadequate, maternal stores other than the teeth are tapped to meet the tremendous fetal need.
Normal:
Urethra elongates by 1.5 – 3 inches –perineal structures are enlarged due to increase vasculature and hypertrophy of the perineal
body
Hydroureter occurs – especially on the right side because of the general dilatation and loss of tone from estrogen and
progesterone effect and compression of the ureters against the pelvic brim by the enlarged uterus.
Esophageal regurgitation occurs – delayed emptying of the stomach and upper pressure from the enlarged uterus.

c. One acceleration of fetal heart rate lasting for 15 seconds occur after movement within
the chosen time period
d. There is low short term fetal heart rate variability
A nonstress test measures the response of the fetal heart rate to the fetal movement. The woman is
positioned and the fetal heart rate and uterine contractions monitors are attached as for obtaining a
rhythm strip. When the fetus moves, the fetal heart rate should increase about 15 beats per minute
and remain elevated for about 15 seconds. It should decrease to its average rate again as the fetus
quiets. This test is usually done for 10-20 minutes. A test is reactive if two accelerations of fetal heart
rate (15 beats or more) lasting for 15 seconds occur after movement within the chosen time period.
The test is nonreactive if no accelerations occur with the fetal movements or if there is low short term
fetal heart rate variability (less than 6 beats per minute).
