A nurse is assisting with a prenatal examination of a client who is at 8 weeks of gestation. The nurse notes that the client's vagina and vulva are a purplish color. The nurse should document this finding as which of the following?

It is important for the client to remain still during the recording of a 12-lead ECG to obtain accurate and clear readings of the heart's electrical activity.

The orthopneic position (sitting upright and leaning forward) is typically used to help relieve shortness of breath in clients with respiratory distress and is not directly related to obtaining a 12-lead ECG.

Attaching a blood pressure cuff is not necessary for obtaining a 12-lead ECG, as it measures blood pressure and not the electrical activity of the heart.

A mild stinging sensation is not expected during the test. The electrodes used to record the ECG are typically adhesive and do not cause discomfort to the client

During a seizure, the child's muscles may contract forcefully, which can lead to accidental biting of the tongue or inner cheek. Inspecting the child's mouth for any signs of injury, such as bleeding or lacerations, is important for assessing and addressing immediate needs.

Instead of placing the child in a supine position (flat on their back), it is recommended to position them on their side (recovery position) to help maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration in case of vomiting or secretions. This position also helps promote drainage of saliva or other fluids from the mouth.

Seizures can be frightening for both the child and their caregivers. Providing a calm and soothing environment, offering comfort, and reassuring the child and their family can help alleviate anxiety and promote a sense of safety.

Administering medication or offering fluids should be determined based on the healthcare provider's orders and individual circumstances. It is essential to consult with the healthcare team for specific instructions regarding medications and fluid management after a seizure episode.
