A client is scheduled for an external version.
The nurse would expect to prepare which of the following medications to be administered prior to the procedure?

A.

Oxytocin.

B.

Methylergonovine.

C.

Betamethasone.

D.

Terbutaline.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Choice A rationale

Oxytocin is used to induce or augment labor, not typically used before an external version, which is a procedure to turn a breech baby to a head-down position.

 

Choice B rationale

Methylergonovine is used to prevent or control postpartum hemorrhage by inducing strong uterine contractions, not indicated before an external version.

 

Choice C rationale

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid used to accelerate fetal lung maturity in preterm labor, not required for an external version.

 

Choice D rationale

Terbutaline is a tocolytic agent used to relax the uterus, making it easier to manipulate the fetus during the external version procedure.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Vaginal hematomas are usually associated with severe pain due to the accumulation of blood in the tissues.

Choice B rationale

Bleeding might be visible, but hematomas often cause internal accumulation, not external bleeding.

Choice C rationale

Warmth is not typically associated with hematomas; instead, pain and swelling are more common.

Choice D rationale

Redness may occur, but pain is the most consistent symptom.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","D"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Petechiae, small red or purple spots on the skin, indicate a low platelet count, which is a component of HELLP syndrome.

Choice B rationale

Jaundice, a yellowing of the skin and eyes, suggests liver involvement and hemolysis, both of which are features of HELLP syndrome.

Choice C rationale

4+ deep tendon reflexes are associated with severe pre-eclampsia but are not specific to HELLP syndrome.

Choice D rationale

3+ pitting edema, severe fluid retention causing swelling, can be a sign of HELLP syndrome, indicating liver or kidney involvement. .
