The nurse knows that a baby born to a mother who had oligohydramnios could show signs of:
 
  1. Respiratory difficulty.
  2. Hypertension.
  3. Heart murmur.
  4. Decreased temperature.

Question 2

The nurse is caring for a child with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) disorder. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement for this child? (Select all that apply.)
 
  1. Encouragement of fluids
  2. Strict intake and output
  3. Administration of ordered diuretics
  4. Specific gravity of urine
  5. Weight only on admission but notdaily

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Decreased amniotic fluid leaves less fluid for the fetus to use during fetal breathing movements, and results in pulmonary hypoplasia and respiratory difficulty.
Rationale 2: Hypertension has no relation to oligohydramnios.
Rationale 3: Heart murmur has no relation to oligohydramnios.
Rationale 4: Decreased temperature has no relation to oligohydramnios.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:2,3,4
Rationale:SIADH results from an excessive amount of serum antidiuretic hormone,causing water intoxication and hyponatremia.Intake and output should be monitored strictly.Diuretics such as furosemide (Lasix) are administered to eliminate excess body fluid,and urine specific gravity is monitored.Fluids are restricted to prevent further hemodilution.Daily weights should be obtained to monitor fluid balance.
