Title: The nurse uses a chart to demonstrate the cognitive impairment, facial abnormalities, and growth ... Post by: anlore on Mar 7, 2018 The nurse uses a chart to demonstrate the cognitive impairment, facial abnormalities, and growth retardation in the fetus that are characteristic of:
a. fetal dependency. b. fetal immaturity. c. malnutrition dependency. d. fetal alcohol syndrome. Question 2 The home health nurse cautions a pregnant patient who ingests alcohol or illicit drugs that she places herself at risk and endangers her fetus, because alcohol and drugs: a. are all absorbed into the bloodstream. b. affect the mother. c. cross the placental barrier. d. increase the heart rate. Question 3 The nursery nurse is implementing phototherapy for the jaundiced infant. The nurse explains that the phototherapy: a. is initiated when the bilirubin level reaches 5 mg/dL. b. converts bilirubin to a water-soluble form to be excreted in the urine. c. changes bilirubin to a bile salt to be excreted through the bowel. d. requires eye patches to remain in place 24 hours a day. Question 4 When teaching a class of primigravidas, the nurse explains that while the mother is pregnant, the physician may order a blood test to identify the maternal level of Rh antibodies. This test is called a(n): a. indirect Coombs' test. b. hemolytic test. c. Rh antibody test. d. direct Coombs' test. Question 5 The nurse is assessing the newborn and discovers a yellowing of the skin. This jaundice appeared at birth and is considered: a. within normal limits. b. pathological. c. a result of iron deficiency. d. indicating possible hepatitis. Question 6 The nurse assures a patient who has become sensitized to the Rh antigen that she can be protected for future pregnancies by receiving injections of: a. iron. b. vitamin B12. c. RhoGAM. d. type O blood. Question 7 A primigravida is Rh negative and her husband is Rh positive. She is concerned about the health of the fetus. The nurse explains that the only danger to the fetus is if it is Rh positive and the mother became sensitized during delivery. If this were the case, the mother would produce what in subsequent pregnancies? a. Rh-negative blood cells b. Rh-positive blood cells c. Rh-negative antibodies d. Rh-positive antibodies Title: The nurse uses a chart to demonstrate the cognitive impairment, facial abnormalities, and growth ... Post by: Migo7s on Mar 7, 2018 D Use of alcohol may result in multiple anomalies called fetal alcohol syndrome. C Alcohol and illicit drugs cross the placental barrier and affect the fetus. B Phototherapy converts the bilirubin into a water-soluble form to be excreted by the kidneys. It is initiated when the bilirubin level reaches 12 to 15 mg/dL. The eye patches are worn during therapy, but removed for feeding, bathing, and socialization. A The indirect Coombs' test measures the maternal level of antibodies. B Jaundice observed at birth is considered an indicator of a pathological condition, erythroblastosis fetalis. C RhoGAM prevents the development of naturally occurring maternal antibodies. D If the mother is exposed to the Rh antigen, Rh-positive antibodies will be produced after delivery of an Rh-positive baby. If the baby is Rh negative, no antibodies will be produced.
