A nurse is assessing a client who is gravida 2, para 1. The client is at 41 weeks of gestation and is receiving oxytocin for the augmentation of labor. The nurse should decrease the infusion rate for which of the following findings?

A. The examination light of the ophthalmoscope should be directed toward the client's eye, not the client's face.

B. When examining the left eye, the nurse should stand on the right side of the client to facilitate proper alignment of the ophthalmoscope with the client's eye.

C. Dimming the lights in the room may improve visualization of the client's internal eye

structures, but it is not typically necessary for ophthalmoscopic examination and may hinder the nurse's ability to assess the client effectively.

D. Placing the ophthalmoscope directly against the client's forehead would not facilitate proper examination of the internal eye structures and may cause discomfort to the client.

A. Provide the client with a walker: While a walker may be used during ambulation, ensuring the client's physiological readiness for ambulation takes precedence.

B. Premedicate the client with the prescribed analgesic: While pain management is important for comfort during ambulation, premedication may not be necessary for all clients and should be based on individual assessment.

C. Obtain the client's vital signs and oximetry prior to ambulation: This intervention allows the nurse to assess the client's physiological status and ensure stability before initiating ambulation, reducing the risk of complications.

D. Reinforce the client's surgical dressing: While maintaining the integrity of the surgical

incision is important, reinforcing the dressing alone does not ensure the client's readiness for ambulation.
