Question: 1 of 43Ati lpn n105t maternal newborn proctored exam
A nurse in a prenatal client is caring for a client who is at 38 weeks of gestation and has heavy, red vaginal bleeding, without contractions, that started spontaneously. She is in no distress and states that she can "feel the baby moving." The client should undergo an ultrasound to determine which of the following findings
Explanation
A. Frequency and duration of contractions: Heavy bleeding without contractions is not typically caused by labor. This option is irrelevant to the client’s current condition. B. Fetal lung maturity: While fetal lung maturity is essential, it is unrelated to the client's heavy vaginal bleeding. C. Rh incompatibility: This condition does not present with sudden, heavy vaginal bleeding in the third trimester. D. Location of the placenta: Heavy, painless vaginal bleeding in late pregnancy can indicate placenta previa. Ultrasound is essential to assess placental location to rule out this potentially life-threatening condition.
