Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale:
1. If the postpartum client is nonimmune to rubella, a rubella vaccine is administered prior to discharge.
2. The client should not be instructed to wait for 1 month to have the rubella vaccine if she is not immune to rubella.
3. Simply charting the information is not appropriate.
4. Taking no action is not appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E, F
Nursing interventions for non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns would include changing the maternal position from one side to the other side; oxygen therapy by non-rebreather face mask at 8 to 10 L/min.; increasing the rate of the main intravenous (IV) fluid line (usually lactated Ringer's solution); notifying the primary care provider of the time of occurrence, duration, severity, and frequency of decelerations and of nursing interventions given; and anticipating administration of a tocolytic such as terbutaline (Brethine). Additional nursing actions would include anticipating starting an amnioinfusion, and chart all information, including the time the primary caregiver was notified, the specific information given, and the response.
