If a client has Fifth's Disease what are the risks to the fetus? Fetal hydrops, miscarriage, fetal anemia, stillbirth, or intrauterine growth restriction
Pt Edu and Nursing Interventions for Misoprostol Oxitocin cannot be given earlier than 4 hours after the last dose of misoprostol, instruct client to void prior administration, client should remain side lying for 30 to 40 min after admin, avoid giving antacids w/ this drug

What is a nuchal cord The umbilical being wrapped around the fetus' neck
Findings of a nuchal cord Petechiae and bruising over face, head, and neck
Adverse effects of carboprost Hypertension, fever, and diarrhea
Expected measurements of a new born Length = 45 to 55 in. Weight = 5.5 -8.8 lb. HR = 110 -160. RR = 30 to 60. Chest circumference = 12 -13 in.
1st trimester reportable signs Burning on urination, abdominal cramping/vaginal bleeding, fever or chills, and diarrhea,
Signs of gestational hypertension Edema of face and hands, epigastric pain, severe headaches
Signs of hypergpycemia Concurrent occurrence of flushed dry skin, fruity breath, rapid breathing, increased drinking and urination, and head ached
Signs of hypoglycemia Clammy pain skin, weakness, tremors, irritability, and lightheadedness.
Leopold Maneuvers can determine what Number of fetus's, presenting part, fetal lie, fetal attitude, degree of descent, location of fetus's back
Location of fetal heart tones when fetus is in vertex presentation. Below maternal umbilicus, in either right or left lower quandrant
Location of fetal heart tones when fetus is in breech presentation. Above maternal umbilicus, in either right or left upper quadrant
Preparation of client before Leopold manuvers Empty bladder, lay supine with knees slightly flexed, place small rolled towel under left or right hip to prevent supine hypotensive syndrome (displace the uterus off the blood vessels)
Patient education on contraception post partum and when it can occur Pregnancy can occur when breastfeeding even though menses hasn't started. If breast feeding do not take oral contraceptives until milk production is well established (6 weeks).
When will menses start again post partum? If not breastfeeding, menses might not resume until 4 to 10 weeks. For breastfeeding moms, menses might not resume for 6 months or until breastfeeding has stopped.
For Rh negative client, when do we administer Rh O(D) Immune globulin? Around 28 weeks of gestation

If there is no fetal movement during the nonstress test, what can you do? Have the mother drink something (orange juice, cold water) or Vibroacoustic stimulation (for 3 seconds over the fetal head so to wake the kiddo up)
Indications for biophysical profile during labor Premature rupture of membranes Maternal infection Decreased fetal movement Intrauterine growth restrictions
Expected labs for iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy Blood ferritin - less than 12 mcg/L Hgb - less than 11 mg/dL Hct - less than 33%
