Answer to Question 1

A
Abruptio placenta is the premature separation of the uterus. Preterm labor, hypoxia, and anemia are the most serious complications. If hypoxia is severe, irreversible fetal brain damage or fetal death may occur.

Answer to Question 2

C
When administering oxygen via nasal cannula, assess the client's nostrils every 8 hours. If the client complains of dryness or has signs of irritation, use sterile lubricant to keep mucous membranes moist.
