Study Notes

Postpartal Woman

Chills shortly after delivery are a normal finding in a postpartal woman and are related to a nervous response or vasomotor changes.
A pulse rate of 60 bpm in the morning on the first postdelivery day is a normal finding in a postpartal woman.
Urinary output of 3000 mL on the second day after delivery is a normal finding in a postpartal woman.

Depression

In a depressed client, the nurse's response "You've been feeling sad and alone for some time now?" is an appropriate response to acknowledge the client's feelings.

Apgar Scoring

The primary purpose of the first Apgar scoring of a newborn is to evaluate the infant's vital functions and determine if there is an immediate need for resuscitation.
Apgar scores assess the current physical condition of the infant and are not related to future environmental adaptation.

Head Injury

Hematotympanum and otorrhea are associated with basilar skull fracture.
Basilar skull fractures are fractures of the base of the skull, and blood behind the eardrum or blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaking from the ear are indicative of a dural laceration.

Breast Cancer

A positive family history of breast cancer puts a woman at an increased risk of developing breast cancer.
Women who have never been pregnant have an increased risk for breast cancer.

Prenatal Checkup

A weight gain of 10 lb in 2 months is a normal finding in a pregnant woman.

Care of a Depressed, Suicidal Client

A long-term goal for the nurse in planning care for a depressed, suicidal client is to assist the client to develop more effective coping mechanisms.

Myocardial Infarction (MI)

An increase in heart rate (100 bpm) is detrimental to the client with a myocardial infarction (MI) because it decreases coronary artery perfusion due to decreased diastolic filling time, which increases ischemic damage to the myocardium.

Hepatitis C

Universal precautions should be used when obtaining blood samples from a client with hepatitis C.
