There are four clients in active labor in the labor suite.
Which of the clients should the nurse monitor carefully for a potential uterine rupture?

A.

Age 15, G3 P0020, in active labor.

B.

Age 22, G1 P0000, eclampsia.

C.

Age 25, G4 P3003, last delivery by cesarean section.

D.

Age 32, G2 P0100, first baby died during labor.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale

A 15-year-old, G3 P0020, although young, doesn't have an increased risk of uterine rupture related to prior surgical deliveries or other known factors.

 

Choice B rationale

A 22-year-old, G1 P0000 with eclampsia requires close monitoring for complications related to eclampsia but not specifically for uterine rupture.

 

Choice C rationale

A 25-year-old, G4 P3003 with a previous cesarean section is at increased risk for uterine rupture due to the scar from the prior surgery which could weaken under the stress of labor.

 

Choice D rationale

A 32-year-old, G2 P0100's history of a prior fetal demise does not specifically increase the risk of uterine rupture unless accompanied by other risk factors. .

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

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 B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Magnesium sulfate is not given to increase diuresis; this is not its primary effect and is incorrect in the context of treating preeclampsia.

Choice B rationale

Magnesium sulfate is administered to prevent seizures in patients with preeclampsia. It acts as a central nervous system depressant and helps in preventing eclampsia.

Choice C rationale

Although magnesium sulfate may have a mild effect on reducing blood pressure due to its vasodilatory properties, this is not its primary purpose in the management of preeclampsia.

Choice D rationale

Magnesium sulfate is not used to slow the process of labor; its main role is seizure prophylaxis in preeclampsia.
