A nurse is reinforcing teaching about strategies to calm a newborn with a client who is postpartum. Which of the following suggestions should the nurse make? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A rationale:
Primipara refers to a woman who is giving birth for the first time. While being a primipara may have some implications for the birthing process, it is not a cause of the newborn being small for gestational age.
Choice B rationale:
Maternal obesity may have various effects on pregnancy, but it is not specifically a direct cause of the newborn being small for gestational age.
Choice C rationale:
Perinatal asphyxia refers to a lack of oxygen or oxygen deprivation around the time of birth. While this can lead to various health issues for the newborn, it is not a primary cause of being small for gestational age.
Choice D rationale:
Placental insufficiency occurs when the placenta does not function adequately to provide sufficient oxygen and nutrients to the developing fetus. This can result in the newborn being small for gestational age due to restricted growth in the womb.

Choice A rationale: A positive contraction stress test warrants immediate attention and evaluation. Waiting for 24 hours to repeat the test could delay necessary interventions in case of fetal distress.
Choice B rationale: A positive contraction stress test indicates that there are late decelerations in the baby's heart rate during contractions, which may suggest fetal distress. In such cases, it is essential to admit the client to the hospital for further evaluation, monitoring, and appropriate management.
Choice C rationale: Checking the client's cervix for dilation is not the most appropriate action in response to a positive contraction stress test. Fetal well-being and assessment take priority in this situation.
Choice D rationale: A positive contraction stress test requires further action and should not be considered a routine finding. Proper management and evaluation are necessary when the test results are positive.
