1. A 26-year-old, gravida 2, para 1 client is admitted to the hospital at 28-weeks gestation in
preterm labor. She is given 3 doses of terbutaline sulfate (Brethine) 0.25 mg subcutaneously to
stop her labor contractions. The nurse plans to monitor for which primary side effect of
terbutaline sulfate?
Tachycardia and a feeling of nervousness
Terbutaline sulfate (Brethine), a beta-sympathomimetic drug, stimulates beta-adrenergic
receptors in the uterine muscle to stop contractions. The beta-adrenergic agonist properties of the
drug may cause tachycardia, increased cardiac output, restlessness, headache, and a feeling of
"nervousness".

delivery. Many primigravida’s begin active labor 100%and theneffacedproceed to
dilate.
5. The nurse instructs a laboring client to use accelerated-blow breathing. The client begins to
complain of tingling fingers and dizziness. What action should the nurse take?
Have the client breathe into her cupped hands
Tingling fingers and dizziness are signs of hyperventilation (blowing off too much carbon
dioxide). Hyperventilation is treated by retaining carbon dioxide. This can be facilitated by
breathing into a paper bag or cupped hands.
6. Twenty-four hours after admission to the newborn nursery, a full-term male infant develops
localized edema on the right side of his head. The nurse knows that, in the newborn, an
accumulation of blood between the periosteum and skull which does not cross the suture
line is a newborn variation known as...
a cephalohematoma, caused by forceps trauma and may last up to 8 weeks.
Cephalohematoma, a slight abnormal variation of the newborn, usually arises within the first 24
hours after delivery. Trauma from delivery causes capillary bleeding between the periosteum
and the skull.
7. When does the head return to its normal
shape? 7-10 days
