The nurse should recognize that the client is at risk for developing which of the following complications?

Anemia

Infection

Late decelerations

Placental insufficiency.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test that involves taking a sample of tissue from the placenta to test for chromosomal abnormalities and certain other genetic problems.
As with all types of surgical procedures, infections can happen during or after CVS2.

Choice A is incorrect because anemia is not a known complication of CVS.
Choice C is incorrect because late decelerations are a type of fetal heart rate patern that can occur during labor and are not related to CVS.
Choice D is incorrect because placental insufficiency is a condition where the placenta is unable to provide enough oxygen and nutrients to the fetus and is not a known complication of CVS.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

“I will drink water before the test until my bladder feels full.” Drinking water before an abdominal ultrasound is usually recommended to ensure a full bladder.

Choice B is incorrect because fasting for 8-12 hours before an abdominal ultrasound is usually recommended.

Choice C is incorrect because there is no information found that suggests avoiding perfumed lotion on the abdomen before an abdominal ultrasound.

Choice D is incorrect because there is no information found that suggests taking a stool softener before an abdominal ultrasound.

A. A newborn who is 24 hr old and has not had a meconium stool. B. A newborn who has a short frenulum and is having difficulty breastfeeding. C. A newborn who is 10 hr old and has onset tachypnea. D. A newborn who is 30 hr old and has blood-tinged discharge in her diaper.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A newborn who is 10 hr old and has onset tachypnea.
Tachypnea means rapid breathing and can be a sign of respiratory distress.
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a respiratory disorder usually seen shortly after delivery in babies who are born near or at term.
It is important for the nurse to assess this newborn ﬁrst to determine the cause of the tachypnea and provide appropriate care.

Choice A, a newborn who is 24 hr old and has not had a meconium stool, may
require further assessment but is not as urgent as a newborn with tachypnea.
Choice B, a newborn who has a short frenulum and is having difficulty breastfeeding, may require assistance with feeding but is not as urgent as a newborn with tachypnea.
Choice D, a newborn who is 30 hr old and has blood-tinged discharge in her diaper, may have pseudomenstruation which is normal and not a cause for concern.
