A blood pressure of 120/70 mm Hg is within the normal range and is not a contraindication for the transdermal contraceptive patch.

The umbilical area is not a typical location for auscultating fetal heart tones.

The suprapubic area is not a common location for auscultating fetal heart tones.

Auscultating below the liver border on the right abdomen is not a standard practice for fetal heart tone assessment.

Applying oxygen is not the priority action in the case of excessive vaginal bleeding and a boggy uterus. Oxygen therapy would be appropriate if there were signs of respiratory distress or decreased oxygen saturation, but it does not directly address the primary concern of uterine atony and bleeding.

Administering methylergonovine might be appropriate, but the priority is to address the uterine atony with fundal massage first. Fundal massage helps stimulate uterine contractions and control bleeding, which is crucial in this scenario.

Encouraging the client to empty her bladder is important, but it is not the first action to take in the case of excessive bleeding and uterine atony. Immediate intervention to control the bleeding takes precedence.

Applying a heat pack to the area might increase inflammation and discomfort. Heat is generally not recommended for healing episiotomies and hemorrhoids.

Using a numbing spray before cleansing might not be necessary and could interfere with proper cleansing. It's generally recommended to cleanse the area before applying any products.

While breastfeeding can have contraceptive effects, relying solely on breastfeeding for contraception is not a foolproof method. It's recommended to use additional birth control methods if desired.

Leukopenia (low white blood cell count) is not a common consequence of hyperemesis gravidarum.

Ketonuria (presence of ketones in the urine) is a possible consequence of excessive vomiting, but it's not the primary concern associated with hyperemesis gravidarum.

Oxytocin is not typically administered during a nonstress test.

A nonstress test is used to assess fetal well-being and does not indicate Down syndrome.

Overlapping suture lines in a newborn are common and usually resolve as the baby grows. This finding is not typically concerning.

Acrocyanosis, bluish discoloration of the hands and feet, is common in newborns and is a normal physiological response to adjusting to the outside environment.
