Option A is incorrect because the top of the uterus is not an appropriate area for counter pressure during labor.

Option C is also incorrect as applying pressure between the thumb and index finger is a technique used to relieve headache pain, not labor pain.

Option D is incorrect because upward pressure on the lower abdomen is not an effective way to relieve the pain of contractions.

Option A is incorrect because a decrease in the frequency of contractions is a desired effect of magnesium sulfate when it is used to stop preterm labor.

Option B is also incorrect because although a blood pressure of 150/100 mm Hg is elevated, it is not an unexpected finding in a client with preeclampsia, and it may actually be considered an improvement if the client's blood pressure was previously higher.

Option D is incorrect because a urinary output of 35 mL/hr is within the normal range for an adult.

Option B is incorrect because a fasting blood glucose of 90 mg/dL is within the normal range for a non-pregnant individual, and it is lower than the target range for a pregnant woman with GDM.

Option C is also incorrect because a fetal movement count of 12 in 1 hour is within the normal range.

Option D is incorrect because non-pitting pedal edema is a common finding in pregnancy and is not typically a cause for concern.

Option A is incorrect because although abdominal distention can be a sign of constipation, it is not a contraindication to the use of a suppository.

Option C is also incorrect because vaginal candidiasis is not a contraindication to the use of a suppository. In fact, suppositories are sometimes used to treat vaginal candidiasis.

Option D is also incorrect because afterpains are not a contraindication to the use of a suppository.

Option A is incorrect because hypertension is a symptom of preeclampsia, not an adverse reaction to magnesium sulfate.

Option B is also incorrect because hyperglycemia is not an adverse reaction to magnesium sulfate.

Option C is also incorrect because a respiratory rate of 16/min is within the normal range.

Option A is incorrect because applying perfumed lotion to the abdomen can interfere with the ultrasound waves and may affect the quality of the images.

Option B is also incorrect because having an empty stomach is not necessary for an abdominal ultrasound.

Option C is also incorrect because a stool softener is not necessary for an abdominal ultrasound.

Option B is incorrect because meconium-stained fluid does not necessarily place the postpartum client at increased risk for infection. However, it can indicate that the fetus was stressed during delivery and may require additional monitoring after birth.

Option C is also incorrect because gestational hypertension, while it can lead to complications during pregnancy and delivery, does not necessarily place the postpartum client at increased risk for infection.

Option D is also incorrect because placenta previa is a condition in which the placenta is low-lying and can partially or completely cover the cervix. It can cause bleeding during pregnancy and delivery but does not necessarily place the postpartum client at increased risk for infection.

Option B is incorrect because an amnio-infusion is not indicated for hypotension related to epidural anesthesia.

Option C is also incorrect because naloxone is a medication used to reverse the effects of opioid medications and would not be appropriate for treating hypotension related to epidural anesthesia.

Option D is partially correct but does not address the immediate need to improve blood flow to the fetus. The nurse should monitor the client's blood pressure regularly but should also take immediate action to turn the client onto their side to improve blood flow.

Option A, dizziness, is a nonspecific symptom and can occur for a variety of reasons, including hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, or dehydration.

Option C, sweating, is also a nonspecific symptom and can occur for a variety of reasons, including hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, or anxiety.

Option D, double vision, is a symptom that can occur in severe cases of hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis. However, it is not a common or early symptom of hyperglycemia.

Option A indicates that the client felt fetal movements during the testing period. This is a reassuring finding because fetal movements are a sign of fetal well-being.

Option B indicates that there were no late decelerations in the FHR with uterine contractions. This is a reassuring finding because late decelerations are a sign of fetal compromise.

Option C indicates that there was an acceleration of the FHR in response to fetal movement. This is a reassuring finding because it indicates that the fetus is capable of responding to stimuli.
