The nurse auscultates the FHR and determines a rate of 112 beats/min. Which action is appropriate?
 
  1. Inform the maternal client that the rate is normal.
  2. Reassess the FHR in 5 minutes because the rate is low.
  3. Report the FHR to the doctor immediately.
  4. Turn the maternal client on her side and administer oxygen.

Question 2

The nurse explains to a preconception class that if only a small volume of sperm is discharged into the vagina, an insufficient quantity of enzymes might be released when they encounter the ovum.
 
  In that case, pregnancy would probably not result, because of which of the following? 1. Peristalsis of the fallopian tube would decrease, making it difficult for the ovum to enter the uterus.
  2. The block to polyspermy (cortical reaction) would not occur.
  3. The fertilized ovum would be unable to implant in the uterus.
  4. Sperm would be unable to penetrate the zona pellucida of the ovum.

Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. A fetal heart rate of 112 beats/min. falls within the normal range of 110-160 beats/min., so there is no need to inform the doctor.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 4. About a thousand acrosomes must rupture to clear enough hyaluronic acid for even a single sperm to penetrate the ovum's zona pellucida successfully. If only a small amount of sperm were released, there most likely would be an insufficient quantity of acrosomes to penetrate the zona pellucida of the ovum and allow fertilization.

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.
