The labor process is an exciting and anxious time for the patient and her partner and family.
 
  In a relatively short period of time, they experience one of the most profound changes in their lives.

Please match each nursing diagnosis with the appropriate intervention needed to achieve the expected outcome.
  a. Anxiety related to labor and the birthing process
  b. Acute pain related to contractions
  c. Risk for impaired urinary elimination
  d. Risk for impaired individual coping
  e. Fatigue related to energy expenditure during labor and birth
 
   53. Instruct the patient and partner in the use of specific relaxation techniques.
 
   54. Continue to provide comfort measures and minimize distractions.
 
   55. Group care activities as much as possible.
 
   56. Orient the patient and family to the labor and birth unit.
 
   57. Encourage frequent voiding and catheterize if necessary.

Answer to Question 1

53. ANS: B
54. ANS: D
55. ANS: E
56. ANS: A
57. ANS: C

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Apgar score is 9 because 1 point is deducted from the total score of 10 for the infant's blue hands and feet. The baby received 2 points for each of the categories except color. Because the infant's hands and feet were blue, this category is given a grade of 1.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
