A nurse is collecting data from a client who has placenta previa. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Provide the client with written information about advance directives: It is important for the nurse to educate the client about advance directives, their purpose, and how they can make informed decisions about their healthcare.

Instruct the client that an advance directive is a legal document and must be honored by care providers: The nurse should explain to the client that an advance directive is a legally binding document that guides healthcare decisions, and it must be respected and followed by healthcare providers.

Communicate advance directives status via the medical record and shift report: The nurse should ensure that the client's advance directives status is accurately documented in the medical record and communicated to other members of the healthcare team during shift handoffs. This helps ensure that the client's wishes are known and respected by all involved in their care.

Initiate a power of attorney for a healthcare document: The nurse can assist the client in initiating a power of attorney for a healthcare document if the client wishes to appoint someone as their healthcare proxy or agent. This document designates someone to make medical decisions on behalf of the client if they become unable to do so.

The other options listed are not appropriate or accurate in relation to the responsibilities of the nurse regarding advance directives:

• Document that the provider discussed do-not-resuscitate status with the client: While discussing do-not-resuscitate (DNR) status may be part of the advance care planning process, it is not directly related to advance directives as a whole.
• Inform the client that an advance directive discontinues further care: This statement is incorrect and misleading. An advance directive does not automatically discontinue care but rather guides the provision of care according to the client's wishes.

Pelvic rocking exercises can help relieve lower back pain during pregnancy. The client can perform this exercise by getting on their hands and knees, keeping their back straight, and gently rocking their pelvis back and forth. This helps to stretch and strengthen the muscles in the lower back and pelvis.

A. Sit in a hot tub for 30 min every evening: Hot tubs and hot baths are not recommended during pregnancy as they can raise the body temperature too high, which can be harmful to the developing fetus.
B. Raise chairs to keep knees lower than hips: This recommendation is more appropriate for promoting good posture and reducing strain on the back, but it may not specifically address lower back pain.
C. Use the arms to pick up heavy items: It is important to avoid heavy lifting during pregnancy as it can strain the back and increase the risk of injury. It is recommended to use proper lifting techniques, such as bending the knees and using the leg muscles rather than the back muscles, to lift objects.
