A nurse is caring for a client following a vaginal delivery of a term fetal demise. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

A. This infection requires that airborne precautions be initiated for the newborn: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is not typically transmitted through the airborne route. It is primarily spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, such as saliva, urine, blood, and genital secretions.

B. Transmission can occur via the saliva and urine of the newborn: CMV can be transmitted through close contact with infected bodily fluids, including saliva and urine. Newborns can contract CMV during delivery or through contact with their mother's infected bodily fluids.

C. Lesions are visible on the mother’s genitalia: Unlike some other viral infections, CMV does not typically present with visible lesions on the genitalia. CMV infection may be asymptomatic or cause mild symptoms in healthy individuals.

D. Mothers will receive prophylactic treatment with acyclovir prior to delivery: Acyclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections, not CMV. There is no standard antiviral prophylactic treatment for CMV in pregnancy.

A. Hypnosis can be beneficial if you practiced it during the prenatal period

Hypnosis techniques for pain management during labor can indeed be effective if practiced and learned before the onset of labor. Practicing hypnosis techniques during the prenatal period allows the individual to become more familiar with the process, enhancing their ability to use hypnosis as a pain management tool during labor.

B. Hypnosis does not work for controlling pain associated with labor: This statement is inaccurate. While hypnosis might not be effective for everyone, it can be a beneficial technique for managing labor pain in some individuals. It's important not to dismiss its potential efficacy for pain control in labor.

C. Synchronized breathing will be required during hypnosis: While breathing techniques are often incorporated into various pain management strategies during labor, such as in childbirth education classes or relaxation techniques, the requirement for synchronized breathing specifically during hypnosis is not universally accurate. Hypnosis techniques can vary, and they might or might not involve synchronized breathing.

D. Focusing on controlling body functions will be helpful during hypnosis: Hypnosis typically involves relaxation and focus but not necessarily the conscious control of body functions. The emphasis in hypnosis is often on relaxation, mental imagery, and suggestion rather than active control of physiological functions.
