myocardial contractility. Increased ventricular contractility would increase outflow tract
obstruction in the client with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. (B) Vasodilators are not typically
prescribed but are not contraindicated. (C) Diuretics are used with caution to avoid causing
hypovolemi
A. (D) Antidysrhythmics are typically needed to treat both atrial and ventricular dysrhythmias.

QUESTION 4
Which of the following findings would be abnormal in a postpartal woman?
A. Chills shortly after delivery
B. Pulse rate of 60 bpm in morning on first postdelivery day
C. Urinary output of 3000 mL on the second day after delivery
D. An oral temperature of 101F (38.3C) on the third day after delivery
Answer: D Explanation:
(A) Frequently the mother experiences a shaking chill immediately after delivery, which is

innocuous. (B) The pulse rate during the immediate postpartal period may be low but presents no
cause for alarm. The body attempts to adapt to the decreased pressures intra-abdominally as well
as from the reduction of blood flow to the vascular bed. (C) Urinary output increases during the
early postpartal period (12–24 hours) owing to diuresis. The kidneys must eliminate an estimated
2000–3000 mL of extracellular fluid associated with a normal pregnancy. (D) A temperature of
100.4F (38C) may occur after delivery as a result of exertion and dehydration of labor. However,
any temperature greater than 100.4F needs further investigation to identify any infectious
process.

seizures
D. Febrile seizures are associated with diseases of the central nervous system

occur during the temperature rise rather than after a prolonged elevation. (B) Febrile seizures
may recur and are more likely to do so when the first seizure occurs in the 1st year of life. (C)
