the nurse expect? - Answer dark brown vaginal discharge



A hydatidiform mole, or a molar pregnancy, is a benign proliferative growth of the chorionic villi, which
gives rise to multiple cysts. The products of conception transform into a large number of edematous,
fluid-filled vesicles. As cells slough off the uterine wall, vaginal discharge is usually dark brown and can
contain grapelike clusters.

,A nurse is assessing a client who is at 35 weeks of gestation and has mild gestational HTN. What finding
should the nurse identify as the priority? - Answer 480 mL urine output in 24 hrs



When using the urgent vs. nonurgent approach to client care, the nurse should determine that the
priority finding is 480 mL of urine output in 24 hr because the minimum acceptable urine output in an
adult client is 30 mL/hr. This can indicate progression of preeclampsia to preeclampsia with severe
features, which requires immediate intervention. Therefore, this is the priority finding.

,The nurse should ensure that all supplies and equipment needed for resuscitation of the newborn are
readily available for every delivery. Endotracheal suctioning is recommended in cases of meconium
staining only if the newborn has poor respiratory effort, decreased muscle tone, and bradycardia after
delivery.



A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who is at 33 wks gestation and has placenta previa
and bleeding. What scripts should the nurse clarify with the provider? - Answer perform a vaginal exam



When a client has a placenta previa, the placenta implants in the lower part of the uterus and obstructs
the cervical os (the opening to the vagina). The nurse should clarify this prescription because any
manipulation can cause tearing of the placenta and increased bleeding.
