A woman's amniotic fluid is noted to be cloudy.
The nurse interprets this finding as:.

Transient fetal hypoxia.

Normal.

Possible infection.

Meconium passage .

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale:

Transient fetal hypoxia is not typically associated with cloudy amniotic fluid. It’s a condition where the fetus doesn’t get enough oxygen.

Choice B rationale:

Normal amniotic fluid is clear or light yellow. Cloudy amniotic fluid is not considered normal.

Choice C rationale:

Cloudy amniotic fluid could indicate a possible infection. The cloudiness can be due to the presence of bacteria and inflammatory cells.

Choice D rationale:

Meconium passage can cause the amniotic fluid to become green or brown, not typically cloudy. So, the correct answer for both questions 26 and 27 is C.

Correct Answer is ["mLs\/hr."]

Explanation

Step 1 is to convert the order from milliunits/minute to units/hour. So, 12 milliunits/minute is equal to 0.72 units/hour. Step 2 is to calculate the total units in the IV bag, which is 20 units. Step 3 is to calculate the total volume of the IV bag, which is 500 mL. Step 4 is to calculate the flow rate. So, (0.72 units/hour ÷ 20 units) × 500 mL = 18 mL/hr. So, the correct flow rate to set on the IV pump is 18 mL/hr.

Correct Answer is ["mLs\/hr."]

Explanation

Answer and explanation

Step 1 is to calculate the total units of Heparin in 1 mL of the solution. This is done by dividing the total units of Heparin in the bag (40,000 units) by the total volume of the bag (500 mL). So, 40,000 units ÷ 500 mL = 80 units/mL. Step 2 is to calculate the rate at which the IV pump should be set. This is done by dividing the ordered amount of Heparin per hour (1600 units) by the units of Heparin per mL (80 units/mL). So, 1600 units/hr ÷ 80 units/mL = 20 mL/hr.

So, the correct answer is 20 mL/hr.
