MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A pregnant woman is being discharged from the hospital after the placement of a
cervical cerclage because of a history of recurrent pregnancy loss, secondary to an
incompetent cervix.Which information regarding postprocedural care should the
nurse emphasize in the discharge teaching?
a. Any vaginal discharge should be immediately reported to her health care provider.
b. The presence of any contractions, rupture of membranes (ROM), or severe perineal
pressure should

be restri
d. The client will be scheduled for a cesarean
birth. ANS: B
Nursing care should stress the importance of monitoring for the signs and symptoms of preterm
labor. Vaginal bleeding needs to be reported to her primary health care provider. Bed
rest is an element of care. However, the woman may stand for periods of up to 90
minutes, which allows her the freedom to see her physician. Home uterine activity
monitoring may be used to limit the womans need for visits and to monitor her status
safely at home. The cerclage can be removed at 37 weeks of gestation (to prepare for a
vaginal birth), or a cesarean birth can be planned.

2. A perinatal nurse is giving discharge instructions to a woman, status postsuction, and
curettage secondary to a hydatidiform mole. The woman asks why she must take oral
contraceptives for the next 12 months. What is the bestresponse by the nurse?
If you get pregnant within 1 year, the chance of a successful pregnancy is very small.
Therefore, if
a. pregnancy, it would be better for you to use the most reliable method of contraception
available.
The major risk to you after a molar pregnancy is a type of cancer that can be diagnosed
only by me
hormone that your body produces during pregnancy. If you were to get pregnant, then it
would mak

If you can avoid a pregnancy for the next year, the chance of developing a second mola

d. Oral contraceptives are the only form of birth control that will prevent a recurrence of a
molar preg ANS: B
Betahuman chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) hormone levels are drawn for 1 year to ensure
that the mole is completely gone. The chance of developing choriocarcinoma after the
,development of a hydatidiform mole is increased. Therefore, the goal is to achieve a
zero human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level. If the woman were to become
pregnant, then it may obscure the presence of the potentially carcinogenic cells. Women
should be instructed to use birth control for 1 year after treatment for a hydatidiform
mole. The rationale for avoiding pregnancy
, for 1 year is to ensure that carcinogenic cells are not present. Any contraceptive
method except an intrauterine device (IUD) is acceptable.

3. The nurse is preparing to administer methotrexate to the client. This
hazardous drug is most often used for which obstetric complication?
a. Complete hydatidiform mole
b. Missed abortion
c. Unruptured ectopic pregnancy
d. Abruptio
placentae ANS: C
Methotrexate is an effective nonsurgical treatment option for a hemodynamically stable woman
whose ectopic pregnancy is unruptured and measures less than 4 cm in diameter.
Methotrexate is not indicated or recommended as a treatment option for a complete
hydatidiform mole, for a missed abortion, or for abruptio placentae.

4. A 26-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 2, para 1-0-0-1, is 28 weeks pregnant when
she experiences bright red, painless vaginal bleeding. On her arrival at the hospital,
which diagnostic procedure will the client most likely have performed?
a. Amniocentesis for fetal lung maturity
b. Transvaginal ultrasound for placental location
c. Contraction stress test (CST)
d. Internal fetal
monitoring ANS: B
The presence of painless bleeding should always alert the health care team to the possibility of
placenta previa, which can be confirmed through ultrasonography. Amniocentesis is not
performed on a woman who is experiencing bleeding. In the event of an imminent
delivery, the fetus is presumed to have immature lungs at this gestational age, and the
mother is given corticosteroids to aid in fetal lung maturity. A CST is not performed at a
preterm gestational age. Furthermore, bleeding is a contraindication to a CST. Internal
fetal monitoring is also contraindicated in the presence of bleeding.

5. A laboring woman with no known risk factors suddenly experiences spontaneous
ROM. The fluid consists of bright red blood. Her contractions are consistent with her
current stage of labor. No change in uterine resting tone has occurred. The fetal heart
rate (FHR) begins to decline rapidly after the ROM. The nurse should suspect the
possibility of what condition?
a. Placenta previa
b. Vasa previa
c. Severe abruptio placentae
