Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse should report any bright-red bleeding at once. A client who is bleeding should never be examined vaginally until ultrasound rules out placenta previa. The practitioner, not the nurse, should do an ultrasound examination. Vitamin K is given to the newborn to reduce the infant's chances of bleeding. However, the nurse cannot inject vitamin K into the client in labor unless specifically directed by the primary care provider.
