Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Placing the newborn under a radiant warmer is not directly related to addressing breastfeeding-related jaundice.

Choice B rationale:

Supplementing breastfeeding with formula is not the first-line approach and may interfere with establishing successful breastfeeding.

Choice C rationale:

Breastfeeding-related jaundice can occur if the newborn is not effectively breastfeeding and not getting enough milk. Assessing the effectiveness of breastfeeding is important to address the underlying cause of jaundice.

Choice D rationale:

Administering Rho(D) immune globulin is unrelated to addressing jaundice in a breastfed newborn.

A. Perform a contraction stress test. B. Prepare for delivery of the fetus. C. Increase the client's dietary salt intake to 2 g/day. D. Administer ferrous sulfate to the client. E. Upper abdominal pain rating 4/10 on a scale from 0 to 10

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

A contraction stress test is not appropriate in this context and would not address the potential risks associated with the client's symptoms.

Choice B rationale:

The elevated blood pressure and upper abdominal pain suggest potential preeclampsia, a serious complication of pregnancy that can lead to significant maternal and fetal risks. Delivery may be indicated to prevent further complications.

Choice C rationale:

Increasing dietary salt intake is not recommended for managing elevated blood pressure in pregnancy.

Choice D rationale:

Administering ferrous sulfate is unrelated to the client's symptoms and concerns.
