1. Which action should the nurse implement when preparing to measure the
fundal height of a pregnant client?:
Answer:
To accurately measure the fundal height, the bladder must be empty to avoid
elevation of the uterus.
2. The nurse identifies crepitus when examining the chest of a newborn who
was delivered vaginally. Which further assessment should the nurse perform?-:
Answer:
The most common neonatal birth trauma due to a vaginal delivery is fracture of
the clavicle. Although an infant may be asymptomatic, a fractured clavicle should
be suspected if an infant has limited use of the affected arm, malposition of the
arm, an asymmetric Moro reflex, crepitus over the clavicle, focal swelling or
tenderness, or cries when the arm is moved.
3. One hour after giving birth to an 8-pound infant, a client's lochia rubra has
increased from small to large and her fundus is boggy despite massage. The
client's pulse is 84 beats/minute and blood pressure is 156/96. The healthcare
provider prescribes Methergine 0.2 mg IM × 1. What action should the nurse
take immediately?:
Answer:
Methergine is contraindicated for clients with elevated blood pressure, so the nurse
should contact the healthcare provider and question the prescription
