Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A newborn's temperature is typically maintained at 36.5 to 37.5 C (97.7 to 99.7 F). Since this newborn's temperature is significantly lower, the nurse should institute measures to rewarm the newborn gradually. Assessment of gestational age is completed regardless of the newborn's temperature. Observation would be inappropriate because lack of action may lead to a further lowering of the temperature. The nurse should notify the physician of the newborn's current temperature since it is outside normal parameters.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
An ectopic pregnancy is one in which implantation occurred outside the uterine cavity, usually within the fallopian tube. As the embryo grows, the fallopian tube can rupture. The therapy for ruptured ectopic pregnancy is laparoscopy to ligate the bleeding vessels and to remove or repair the damaged fallopian tube. There is no reason to begin uterine monitoring. The patient does not need to be on bed rest for 4 weeks. A tocolytic is not needed because the patient is not in labor.
