Answer to Question 1
C
Feedback:
When administering oxytocin, the infusion should be piggybacked to a maintenance IV solution and add the piggyback to the main infusion at the port closest to the patient. If the oxytocin needs to be discontinued quickly during the induction, little solution remains in the tubing to still infuse, and the main IV line can still be maintained. Oxytocin is not administered as an intravenous bolus, as intramuscular injections, nor is it diluted in the main intravenous fluid.
Answer to Question 2
B
Feedback:
The cord stump should change color from yellow to brown or black. Therefore the parents need additional teaching if they state the color changes from brown to yellow. Tub baths are avoided until the cord has fallen off and the area is healed. Exposing the stump to the air helps it to dry. The parents should notify their primary care provider if there is any bleeding, redness, drainage, or foul odor from the cord stump.
