Which of the following is the appropriate nursing care outcome for a client who suddenly develops anaphylactoid syndrome of pregnancy (ASP) during labor?
Client will be infection free at discharge.
Client will exhibit normal breathing function at discharge.
Client will exhibit normal gastrointestinal function at discharge.
Client will void without pain at discharge.
The Correct Answer is B
Choice A rationale
While infection prevention is vital, ensuring breathing function is more critical after ASP.
Choice B rationale
ASP affects the respiratory system severely; thus, restoring normal breathing is a primary goal.
Choice C rationale
Gastrointestinal function is less immediately affected by ASP compared to respiratory issues.
Choice D rationale
Voiding without pain is important, but respiratory stability takes precedence.

Correct Answer is ["B","C","E"]
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Pumping up the vacuum manually to the pressure indicated on the pump is a standard procedure but doesn't directly minimize liability.
Choice B rationale
Recognizing cup detachment (pop off) as a warning sign is critical, as it indicates excessive force or poor positioning, which can lead to fetal or maternal injury.
Choice C rationale
Limiting the cup's attachment to the fetal head to 5 to 10 minutes reduces the risk of scalp injury and other complications, thus minimizing liability.
Choice D rationale
Timing the procedure from insertion of the cup into the vagina until the birth is a guideline but doesn't specifically address liability concerns.
Choice E rationale
Releasing pressure between contractions prevents continuous suction on the fetal head, reducing the risk of injury and thereby minimizing liability.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
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. .
