Answer to Question 1

A
Normal glucose levels in the neonate range from 45 mg/dL to 80 mg/dL and does not indicate hyperglycemia. Substituting sterile water feedings instead of formula is not an appropriate action for a normal glucose level. Feeding the infant glucose water or formula is done for blood glucose levels below 40 mg/dL.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. This client is exhibiting manifestations of a precipitous birth. The best action by the nurse is to notify the physician and prepare for delivery.
2. This client is exhibiting manifestations of a precipitous birth. Placing the woman in a kneechest position might be necessary if the fetus is in a persistent occiput posterior position and labor is arrested, but there is no indication of this in the case presented.
3. This client is exhibiting manifestations of a precipitous birth. At this stage of labor, as described, turning the lights off so that relaxation is enhanced would not be appropriate.
4. This client is exhibiting manifestations of a precipitous birth. There is no indication of fetal distress, so preparing for a cesarean is not appropriate.
