A client who is 7 days postpartum calls the provider's office and reports pain, swelling, and redness of her left calf. Besides the client seeing the provider, which of the following interventions should the nurse suggest?

Choice A rationale: RhoGAM is not given solely based on blood loss. It is administered to prevent Rh isoimmunization, which is unrelated to the amount of blood loss.
Choice B rationale: If the client has previously given birth to an Rh-negative infant, she is already sensitized and would not require RhoGAM for this current ectopic pregnancy.
Choice C rationale: Rho(D) Immune globulin (RhoGAM) is given to Rh-negative individuals to prevent the development of Rh isoimmunization, which could occur if the client is exposed to Rh-positive blood. In the case of an ectopic pregnancy, there may be a possibility of fetal blood mixing with the mother's bloodstream, which could lead to sensitization in an Rh-negative individual.
Choice D rationale: The desire to conceive again does not dictate the need for RhoGAM. It is solely based on the client's Rh factor status and the potential for sensitization during the ectopic pregnancy.

Choice A rationale: Placing elbow restraints is not a recommended practice for preterm newborns. Restraints are used in some cases to prevent the baby from pulling on tubes or lines, but it is not primarily for energy conservation.
Choice B rationale: While frequent position changes are important to prevent pressure ulcers and promote comfort, they may not necessarily help conserve energy in a preterm newborn.
Choice C rationale: Preterm newborns have limited energy reserves, and conserving energy is essential for their growth and development. Clustering care activities involves combining nursing care tasks to allow for longer periods of uninterrupted rest for the baby. This approach reduces the baby's energy expenditure and promotes better weight gain and stability.
Choice D rationale: While gentle touch and massage can be beneficial for preterm newborns to promote bonding and relaxation, it may not directly conserve energy as cluster care does.
