Correct Answer : A,E,F

The correct answers are choices B, E, and F.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The correct answer is choice B.

Choice A rationale:

Vitamin K is given to newborns to prevent bleeding disorders, not eye conditions.

Choice B rationale:

Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment is commonly used for prophylaxis of neonatal conjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis.

Choice C rationale:

Gentamicin ophthalmic ointment can be used to treat bacterial infections of the eye, but it is not typically used for prophylaxis of neonatal eye conditions.

Choice D rationale:

Silver nitrate solution was once used for prophylaxis of neonatal eye conditions, but it is no longer commonly used due to the risk of chemical conjunctivitis.

A. "This could result in profound bleeding.” B. "There is an increased risk of introducing infection.” C. "This could initiate preterm labor.” D. "There is an increased risk of rupture of the amniotic membranes.”.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

The correct answer is choice A.

Choice A rationale:

An internal examination could disturb the placenta and cause profound bleeding, which is a life-threatening condition for both the mother and the fetus.

Choice B rationale:

While there is always a risk of introducing infection during an internal examination, this is not the primary reason to avoid it in a client with placenta previa.

Choice C rationale:

An internal examination could potentially initiate preterm labor, but this is not the primary concern with placenta previa.

Choice D rationale:

While there is a risk of rupture of the amniotic membranes during an internal examination, this is not the primary reason to avoid it in a client with placenta previa.
