Answer to Question 1

2,4,5
Rationale 1: Oxytocin is not used at this time. It may be used later if stripping of membranes is not effective.
Rationale 2: This motion separates the amniotic membranes that are lying against the lower uterine segment and internal os from the distal part of the lower uterine segment.
Rationale 3: The procedure does produce discomfort, and is not 100 effective.
Rationale 4: If labor is initiated, it typically begins within 2448 hours.
Rationale 5: Uterine contractions, cramping, and bloody discharge can occur after the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: This is an expected finding, and does not require intervention.
Rationale 2: By 6 weeks postpartum, lochia should be absent or minimal in amount, requiring only a pantiliner. Red, heavy flow is not an expected finding, and requires intervention.
Rationale 3: This is an expected finding, and does not require intervention.
Rationale 4: This is an appropriate time frame for restarting birth control pills, and does not require intervention.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
