It is determined that a client's blood Rh is negative and her partner's is positive. To help prevent Rh isoimmunization, the nurse would expect to administer Rho(D. immune globulin at which time?

Choice A reason: This is correct because cloudy malodorous fluid indicates that the amniotic fluid is contaminated with bacteria or other microorganisms that can cause infection in the woman or the fetus. Normally, amniotic fluid is clear and odorless.

Choice B reason: This is correct because abdominal tenderness suggests that the woman has inflammation or irritation of the uterus or other pelvic organs due to infection. Abdominal tenderness can also be accompanied by cramping, pain, or fever.

Choice C reason: This is correct because fetal bradycardia, which is a slow fetal heart rate below 110 beats per minute, indicates that the fetus is experiencing distress or hypoxia due to infection. Fetal bradycardia can be detected by electronic fetal monitoring or Doppler device.

Choice D reason: This is correct because elevated maternal pulse rate, which is a heart rate above 100 beats per minute, indicates that the woman has an increased metabolic demand or systemic inflammation due to infection. Elevated maternal pulse rate can also be caused by dehydration, anxiety, or pain.

Choice E reason: This is incorrect because decreased C-reactive protein levels do not indicate infection. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein that is produced by the liver in response to inflammation or infection. Increased CRP levels can be a sign of infection, but decreased CRP levels can be normal or indicate other conditions such as liver disease or malnutrition.

Choice A reason: This is incorrect because wearing spandex-type full-length pants can constrict the blood flow and increase the swelling in the feet. The nurse should advise the woman to wear loose-fitting clothes and comfortable shoes that do not squeeze or rub her feet.

Choice B reason: This is correct because elevating the legs when sitting can improve the venous return and reduce the swelling in the feet. The nurse should encourage the woman to elevate her legs above her heart level whenever possible and avoid crossing her legs or standing for long periods.

Choice C reason: This is incorrect because limiting the intake of fluids can cause dehydration and worsen the swelling in the feet. The nurse should recommend the woman to drink plenty of water and other healthy fluids to maintain hydration and flush out excess sodium and waste products from her body.

Choice D reason: This is incorrect because eliminating salt from the diet can cause electrolyte imbalance and affect the fluid balance in the body. The nurse should advise the woman to consume salt in moderation and avoid processed foods that are high in sodium.
