Feedback
A Assessment of the FHR and maternal vital signs will assist the nurse in
determining the degree of the blood loss and its effect on the mother and fetus.
B The most important assessment is to check mother/fetal well-being. The blood
levels can be obtained later.
C It is important to assess future bleeding, but the top priority is mother/fetal
well-being.
D Monitoring uterine contractions is important, but not the top priority.
