TEST BANK FOR MATERNAL NEWBORN NURSING ;1. Question:
What is the primary purpose of administering Rho(D) immune globulin to a pregnant woman?
Answer: The primary purpose of administering Rho(D) immune globulin is to prevent hemolytic
disease of the newborn (HDN) in future pregnancies. It is given to Rh-negative women who may
have been exposed to Rh-positive blood, such as during a miscarriage, abortion, or delivery of an
Rh-positive baby. The immune globulin prevents the development of antibodies against Rh-
positive blood cells, reducing the risk of hemolytic disease in future pregnancies.
2. Question:
What are the key signs of preeclampsia in a pregnant woman?
Answer: Key signs of preeclampsia include:
Elevated blood pressure (typically ≥140/90 mmHg)
Proteinuria (presence of protein in the urine)
Swelling (edema) of hands and face
Sudden weight gain
Severe headaches
Visual disturbances (e.g., blurred vision, seeing spots)
Upper abdominal pain (usually under the ribs on the right side)
3. Question:
What is the normal range for fetal heart rate during labor?
Answer: The normal fetal heart rate during labor typically ranges from 110 to 160 beats per
minute (bpm). It is important to monitor fetal heart rate patterns to assess the baby's well-being
and detect any signs of distress.
4. Question:
What are the four stages of labor, and what occurs in each stage?
Answer:
1. First Stage: Begins with the onset of true labor contractions and ends when the cervix is
fully dilated to 10 centimeters. This stage includes the latent phase (early labor), active
phase, and transition phase.
2. Second Stage: Begins when the cervix is fully dilated and ends with the birth of the
baby. This stage involves the mother pushing and the baby moving through the birth
canal.
