A nurse is caring for a client who has Clostridium difficile. When applying a cover gown, which of the following techniques should the nurse use?

1. A. Obtain a baseline reading of the FHR and contraction pattern.
   • Establishing a baseline of fetal heart rate (FHR) and contraction pattern is crucial to assess for any immediate changes following the amniotomy.
2. D. Position the client with a rolled towel under her hips.
   • Positioning the client with a rolled towel under her hips helps to relieve pressure on the vena cava, improve uterine blood flow, and optimize fetal positioning.
3. C. Pass the sterile hook to the provider.
   • The sterile hook is used to break the amniotic sac, and the nurse should pass it to the provider during the procedure.
4. E. Check the fluid for color, odor, and consistency.
   • After the amniotomy, the nurse should assess the amniotic fluid for color (should be clear), odor (should be odorless), and consistency to check for any signs of meconium or infection.
5. B. Document the procedure in the electronic medical record.
   • The nurse should document the amniotomy procedure and any findings (e.g., FHR changes, amniotic fluid assessment) in the medical record after the procedure has been completed.

A. “I can make several office visits, so my child does not get so many immunizations at once.”: This is correct. While the CDC and AAP provide a recommended schedule, parents are allowed to space out vaccinations into multiple visits if they are concerned about the number of injections at a single appointment.

B. "I understand that immunizations will be withheld if my child has lactose intolerance.": This is incorrect. Lactose intolerance does not contraindicate immunizations. Some vaccines may contain small amounts of lactose, but this does not prevent a child with lactose intolerance from receiving them.

C. "My child will need to start the human papillomavirus series when he enters kindergarten.": This is incorrect. The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is recommended to be started at ages 11 or 12, not when the child enters kindergarten.

D. "It is recommended that my child receive his first flu immunization at the age of 6.": This is incorrect. The first flu vaccine is recommended for children aged 6 months and older, and the initial flu vaccine may require two doses for children under 9 years of age, spaced at least 4 weeks apart.
