Answer to Question 1

C
You would hypothesize that the client is experiencing round ligament discomfort. This is often related to the need for additional calcium in the diet. Typically the discomfort is described as a sharp pain below the umbilicus on one or both sides of the uterus. It may be relieved by drinking extra milk or taking calcium tablets.

Answer to Question 2

A
Conditions that may interfere with the newborn's smooth transition to extrauterine life include hypovolemia (shock), asphyxia, meconium staining, transient tachypnea of the newborn, and hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia, transient bradycardia, and hypercalcemia are not among the common conditions that interfere with newborn transition.
