WBC count 35,000/mm³: Incorrect. While a slightly elevated WBC count can be observed in response to stress or minor trauma, such as a cephalohematoma, the value provided (35,000/mm³) is elevated but not specific to cephalohematoma.

Glucose 35 mg/dL: Incorrect. Hypoglycemia (glucose <40 mg/dL) is not directly related to cephalohematoma. The condition primarily affects bilirubin levels, not glucose.

Platelet count 350,000/mm³: Incorrect. A normal platelet count does not directly correlate with cephalohematoma. The platelet count given is within the normal range and is not indicative of the condition.

Hgb 9.9 g/dL: Incorrect. While anemia can occur in preeclampsia, it is not the primary laboratory finding associated with the condition. The hemoglobin level provided is low but not specific to preeclampsia.

Serum uric acid 2.5 mg/dL: Incorrect. Elevated serum uric acid levels are often associated with preeclampsia, but the value provided is below the normal range and would not be expected in this condition.

Casual blood glucose 228 mg/dL: Incorrect. Although gestational diabetes can occur, it is not a direct result of preeclampsia. The glucose level given is high but not specific to the condition.

Hyporeactivity: Incorrect. Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) typically presents with hyperreactivity rather than hyporeactivity. Newborns with NAS are usually more irritable and agitated.

Acrocyanosis: Incorrect. Acrocyanosis, which refers to the bluish discoloration of the hands and feet, is common in newborns but is not specific to NAS. It is typically a transient and benign condition.

Respiratory rate of 50/min: Incorrect. A respiratory rate of 50/min is within the normal range for a newborn and is not indicative of NAS. NAS is more commonly associated with symptoms such as irritability and abnormal crying.

Deep tendon reflexes 2+: Incorrect. Deep tendon reflexes of 2+ are within the normal range and are not indicative of magnesium sulfate toxicity. Normal reflexes suggest that the magnesium level is likely within the therapeutic range.

Urine output 30 mL/hr: Incorrect. While urine output should be monitored in clients receiving magnesium sulfate, 30 mL/hr is on the lower end of normal but not necessarily an immediate cause for concern unless it is persistently low or accompanied by other symptoms.

Blood pressure 100/62 mm Hg: Incorrect. This blood pressure reading is within the acceptable range for a pregnant client on magnesium sulfate. Magnesium sulfate is used to prevent seizures and does not typically affect blood pressure in this manner.

Discourage the client from looking at their breasts: Incorrect. Discouraging the client from looking at their breasts may prevent them from processing their feelings and adjusting to their new body image. It is important to support the client in exploring and accepting their changed body.

Tell the client you are so sorry for how devastated they must feel: Incorrect. While showing empathy is important, this response does not actively address the client's concerns or provide practical support. It is more beneficial to offer concrete resources and coping strategies.

Tell the client to focus on their postoperative recovery for now: Incorrect. Although focusing on recovery is important, it is also crucial to address the client's emotional concerns about body image. Ignoring these concerns may affect their overall emotional well-being.

Peanut butter sandwich: Incorrect. Peanut butter contains phenylalanine, an amino acid that people with phenylketonuria (PKU) must limit in their diet. Foods high in phenylalanine should be avoided to prevent complications.

Glass of skim milk: Incorrect. Milk, including skim milk, contains phenylalanine, which should be limited or avoided by individuals with PKU. They need to consume specially formulated low-phenylalanine products.

Scrambled egg: Incorrect. Eggs are high in phenylalanine and should be avoided by individuals with PKU. They need to choose low-protein alternatives that do not contribute to their phenylalanine levels.

Prepare the necessary equipment to initiate an amnioinfusion: Incorrect. While amnioinfusion may be considered for recurrent variable decelerations caused by umbilical cord compression, the priority is to address the immediate cause of the decelerations, which may be due to excessive oxytocin.

Assist with performing a vaginal/speculum exam to check for a prolapsed umbilical cord: Incorrect. Although checking for umbilical cord prolapse is important, the first action should be to address any potential causative factors like oxytocin use before performing an examination.

Provide instructions for the client about potential preparation for birth: Incorrect. Providing instructions about preparation for birth is important but does not address the immediate issue of recurrent variable decelerations and their potential cause.

"If my partner is Rh-negative, I will not receive the shot.": Incorrect. Rho(D) immune globulin is administered based on the Rh status of the baby, not the partner. The client will receive the shot if the baby is Rh-positive or if the Rh status is unknown.

"I will receive the shot after delivery if my baby is Rh-negative.": Incorrect. Rho(D) immune globulin is given after delivery if the baby is Rh-positive. If the baby is Rh-negative, the shot is not necessary.

"I should not receive any immunizations for 3 months after the shot.": Incorrect. There are no restrictions on receiving other immunizations after receiving Rho(D) immune globulin, and there is no need to wait for 3 months.
