A nurse is teaching a prenatal class about infection prevention at a community center. Which of the following statements by a client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A) Leaving a nasogastric tube clamped after administering oral medication: Leaving a nasogastric tube clamped after administering oral medication can lead to complications such as aspiration or improper medication delivery. However, it is not typically classified as malpractice unless it results in significant harm to the patient.

B) Documenting communication with a provider in the progress notes of the client’s medical record: Documenting communication with a provider in the progress notes is a standard and necessary practice in nursing. It ensures that there is a clear record of the care provided and any instructions given by the healthcare provider.

C) Administering potassium via IV bolus: Administering potassium intravenously as a rapid injection (bolus) can be extremely dangerous and potentially lethal. Potassium should be administered slowly to avoid causing cardiac arrest. This action is a clear example of malpractice due to the severe risk it poses to the patient.

D) Placing a yellow bracelet on a client who is at risk for falls: Placing a yellow bracelet on a client who is at risk for falls is a standard safety measure to alert staff to the client’s fall risk. This action is part of good nursing practice and helps prevent potential injuries.

A) Fetal anemia:Fetal anemia typically causes tachycardia (increased heart rate) rather than bradycardia (decreased heart rate). It is not a common cause of fetal bradycardia.

B) Maternal hypoglycemia:Maternal hypoglycemia can lead to decreased glucose availability for the fetus, resulting in fetal bradycardia. It is important to monitor and manage maternal blood glucose levels to ensure adequate fetal oxygenation and prevent bradycardia.

C) Chorioamnionitis:Chorioamnionitis, an infection of the amniotic fluid and membranes, usually causes fetal tachycardia rather than bradycardia. It is associated with an increased fetal heart rate due to the inflammatory response.

D) Maternal fever:Maternal fever is more likely to cause fetal tachycardia due to the increased metabolic rate and oxygen demand. It is not typically associated with fetal bradycardia.
