A nurse is collecting data from a client who has substance use disorder and reports recently taking opioids.

Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of opioid intoxication?

Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta partially or completely covers the opening of the cervix. One of the hallmark signs of placenta previa is painless vaginal bleeding, typically bright red in color. This bleeding can occur spontaneously or during activities that put pressure on the uterus, such as sexual intercourse or physical exertion.

A rigid abdomen is not typically associated with placenta previa. It may indicate other conditions, such as peritonitis or abdominal muscle rigidity, but it is not a characteristic finding of placenta previa.

Persistent uterine contractions are not typically associated with placenta previa. Placenta previa is more commonly associated with painless bleeding rather than contractions. However, if placenta previa is complicated by other factors, such as placental abruption, contractions and abdominal pain may be present.

Fetal movement is not directly related to placenta previa. Fetal movement can vary from person to person and does not specifically indicate placenta previa. However, it is important for the nurse to assess fetal well-being in clients with placenta previa as bleeding can impact the oxygen supply to the fetus.

The nurse should include the statement that only health care staff providing care will see the client's medical record when reinforcing teaching about confidentiality. This statement emphasizes the importance of maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of the client's personal health information.

Explanation for the other options:

a. "Your nurse will provide information about the risks and benefits of surgical procedures." While it is important for the nurse to provide information about surgical procedures, this statement does not specifically address confidentiality.

c. "The provider must grant you access to your personal health information." This statement is related to the client's rights regarding access to their personal health information. While it is important to educate clients about their rights, it is not specifically focused on confidentiality.

d. "You have to authorize our providers to prescribe treatments for your condition." This statement is related to obtaining the client's consent for treatment, which is important but not directly addressing confidentiality.
