Answer to Question 1

B
The priority with a prolapsed cord is to decrease the pressure on the cord as soon as possible. Listening for the fetal heart tones with a Doppler device or electronic fetal monitor and preparing her for immediate cesarean delivery are important interventions, but they are not the highest priority. Putting on a sterile glove and gently reinserting the cord into the vaginal opening may increase the pressure on the cord and further compromise the fetus.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A This woman is experiencing engorgement, which can be treated by using ice packs (because she is not breastfeeding) and cabbage leaves.
B This intervention is appropriate for treating engorgement in a mother who is bottle-feeding.
C A bottle-feeding mother should avoid any breast stimulation, including pumping or expressing milk.
D A bottle-feeding mother should wear a well-fitted support bra or breast binder continuously for at least the first 72 hours after giving birth. A loose-fitting bra will not aid lactation suppression. Furthermore, the shifting of the bra against the breasts may stimulate the nipples and thereby stimulate lactation.
