The knee-chest position is not indicated for postpartum hemorrhage and does not address the underlying cause.

Oxygen may be necessary if the client is unstable, but 2 L/min via nasal cannula is not the primary intervention and may not be sufficient in a critical situation.

Dextrose water is not appropriate for fluid resuscitation during hemorrhage; isotonic fluids like normal saline or lactated Ringer’s are preferred to restore volume.

Nausea is a common and generally mild side effect of oral contraceptives and does not typically require immediate medical attention.

Breast tenderness is a common and usually benign side effect of hormonal contraceptives.

Abdominal bloating may occur but is not typically dangerous or an urgent concern.

A grade 2 placental abruption typically presents with a firm or rigid abdomen due to concealed bleeding, not a soft one.

A fetal heart rate of 150/min with moderate variability is a reassuring sign and would not typically be expected in a significant abruption, where fetal distress is more common.

Vaginal bleeding from placental abruption is typically painful, and may be concealed. Painless bleeding is more characteristic of placenta previa.

Newborns do not need daily tub baths; a sponge bath 2–3 times a week is usually sufficient until the cord falls off.

Babies should always be placed on their backs to sleep to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), not on their sides.

The correct technique for using a bulb syringe is to compress it before inserting it into the baby’s mouth or nose, then release to suction out secretions.

The car seat should remain rear-facing until at least age 2, or until the child reaches the maximum height and weight limit specified by the manufacturer, not just until 12 months.

The retainer (chest) clip should be positioned at the level of the infant's armpits, not the abdomen, to ensure proper restraint.

For rear-facing seats, the harness straps should be at or below the baby's shoulders, not above.

Assessing for tachysystole is important, but intervention is needed immediately to improve fetal oxygenation.

Internal monitoring may provide more accurate data, but it does not address the immediate fetal distress.

Increasing IV fluids can help with placental perfusion, but positioning is faster and more immediately effective.

Irrigating the insertion site with sterile water is not a standard part of the procedure.

The client is usually positioned supine with a slight tilt to prevent vena cava compression, not strictly in a left lateral position.

Amniocentesis does not require the client to be NPO.

A pain rating of 3 is relatively mild and does not indicate urinary retention.

Moderate lochia rubra is expected 4 hours postpartum and does not indicate urinary retention.

While edema and bruising are common after delivery, they do not alone indicate a need for catheterization.

A transvaginal fetal Doppler is not commonly used for continuous monitoring and is typically reserved for early pregnancy.

A DeLee Hillis fetoscope is used for intermittent auscultation, not continuous monitoring.

An internal fetal scalp electrode requires ruptured membranes and cervical dilation; it is contraindicated with intact membranes.
