Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Amniotic fluid helps cushion the baby12.
It acts as a shock absorber and protects the fetus from injury should the mother’s abdomen be subject to trauma or sudden impact.
Choice A is incorrect because the amniotic fluid does not provide oxygen to the fetus.
Oxygen is provided to the fetus through the umbilical cord.
Choice B is incorrect because amniotic fluid is not how the baby is fed. The baby receives nutrients through the umbilical cord.
Choice D is incorrect because while amniotic fluid does have some antibacterial properties2, it does not prevent viruses from passing to the baby.

A. Continue to monitor for another hour. B. Administer an antipyretic. C. Assist the client in ambulation. D. Notify the RN; she will notify the provider.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A postpartum fever is defined as a temperature greater than 100.4 degrees F (38.0 degrees C) on at least two occasions.
These fevers cannot be ignored as they can represent serious infections. The first task is to identify the source.
Choice A is not correct because continuing to monitor for another hour may delay necessary treatment.
Choice B is not correct because administering an antipyretic may only treat the symptom and not address the underlying cause of the fever.
Choice C is not correct because assisting the client in ambulation does not address the underlying cause of the fever.
