When caring for a child with a cognitive impairment, what is a primary factor for the nurse to consider regarding the approach for interaction with the child?

  C) The developmental stage is based on the gestational age.
  D) The developmental stage is based on the parent's report of level of functioning.

Question 2

Concerning the intake and output of women during labor, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. the tradition of restricting the laboring woman to clear liquids and ice chips is being challenged because regional anesthesia is used more often than general.
  2. IV fluids are usually necessary to make sure the laboring woman stays hydrated.
  3. routine use of an enema empties the rectum and is very helpful in producing a clean, clear delivery.
  4. when a nulliparous woman experiences the urge to defecate, it often means birth will follow quickly.

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

1

3. Incorrect. Routine use of an enema is at best ineffective and may be harmful.
4. Incorrect. This is true for a multiparous woman, but not a first timer.
