The nurse assists in the vaginal delivery of a newborn. Following the delivery, the nurse observes the umbilical cord lengthen and a spurt of blood from the vagina. The nurse documents these observations as signs of:
 
  1. Hematoma
  2. Placenta previa
  3. Uterine atony
  4. Placental separation

Question 2

The nurse suspects the client may be experiencing dysfunction in the area of the semicircular canals of the ear if the client experiences:
 
  1. Disturbance in balance
  2. Conduction hearing loss
  3. Tinnitus
  4. Sensorineural hearing loss

Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: As the placenta separates, it settles downward into the lower uterine segment. The umbilical cord lengthens, and a sudden trickle or spurt of blood appears. The other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: The semicircular canals function to aid the client's sense of balance. These canals do not relate to hearing function or the presence of tinnitus.
