A client at 40 weeks’ gestation is in active labor. The fetal heart tracing demonstrates a baseline of 145 beats/min with minimal variability over the past 30 minutes. Uterine contractions occur every 2 to 3 minutes and last 60 to 70 seconds. The client has just experienced spontaneous rupture of membranes. Which additional assessment finding should cause the nurse the greatest concern?

You are assessing the 1-minute APGAR score of a newborn immediately after delivery. During your assessment, you observe the following: Heart Rate: 132 beats/min Respiratory Effort: Irregular respirations with a weak cry Muscle Tone: Some flexion of the arms and legs with minimal spontaneous movement Reflex Irritability: Grimaces and withdraws when the nares are suctioned Color: Pale pink body with blue hands and feet What is the newborn’s APGAR score? __________ (Numeric answer only)

Use Nagele’s rule to calculate the EDD (estimated delivery date) for a patient who reports their first day of LNMP (last normal menstrual period ) as 6/20/26. _____________________

A gravida 2 para 1 client at 38 weeks’ gestation presents to the obstetric emergency department after awakening to a sudden “gush” of bright red vaginal bleeding approximately 20 minutes ago. She reports intermittent lower abdominal discomfort that she describes as “cramping,” rating it 3/10, but denies regular contractions. She states fetal movement has decreased since the bleeding began. Assessment Findings Finding Result Blood Pressure 108/66 mm Hg Heart Rate 104 beats/min Respiratory Rate 18 breaths/min Temperature 36.8°C (98.2°F) Oxygen Saturation 99% on room air Fetal Heart Rate Baseline 120 beats/min with moderate variability External Tocodynamometer Irregular uterine irritability every 8–10 minutes Bleeding Approximately 250 mL bright red blood noted on perineal pad; no visible clots The obstetric provider has not yet evaluated the client. Which nursing action should the nurse implement FIRST?

A client is admitted with severe abdominal pain, board-like abdominal muscle rigidity, nausea, and diaphoresis. During the assessment, the client recalls being bitten by a black spider several hours earlier. Which disorder could the client’s presentation most easily be mistaken for?  

A nurse is caring for a client immediately after the birth of a healthy newborn. Approximately 8 minutes after delivery, the nurse notes the following: A small gush of dark blood is observed on the perineal pad. The umbilical cord appears longer than it did immediately after birth. The uterine fundus becomes firm, rounded, and rises slightly in the abdomen. The client reports a mild urge to bear down. How should the nurse interpret these assessment findings?
