Which symptom would the nurse expect to observe in a postpartum client with a vaginal hematoma?
Pain.
Bleeding.
Warmth.
Redness.
The Correct Answer is A
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","E"]
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Impaired intellectual development in children born to mothers with diabetes can occur due to fluctuating blood glucose levels, which can affect brain development.
Choice B rationale
Development of metabolic syndrome is more likely in children born to mothers with diabetes due to genetic predispositions and prenatal exposure to hyperglycemia.
Choice C rationale
Shoulder injury related to birth size, although a possible immediate complication, is not typically considered a long-term effect of maternal diabetes.
Choice D rationale
Changes in genetic expression can occur due to epigenetic modifications from exposure to maternal diabetes, potentially leading to various health issues later in life.
Choice E rationale
Increased risk for chronic illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, is higher in children born to mothers with diabetes, due to genetic and environmental factors.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Blood pressure of 160/110 indicates severe preeclampsia and warrants immediate intervention to prevent complications. Stopping oxytocin is part of the management of severe
preeclampsia to avoid exacerbating the condition.
Choice B rationale
Frequency of contractions every 3 minutes is within the normal range during labor induction and does not warrant stopping the infusion unless there are other concerns.
Choice C rationale
A fetal heart rate of 155 bpm with early decelerations may require close monitoring but does not necessarily warrant stopping the oxytocin infusion. Early decelerations are typically a
normal physiological response.
Choice D rationale
Frequency of contractions every 3 minutes is expected during active labor and is generally not a cause to stop the oxytocin infusion. The nurse should continue to monitor the labor
progression closely.
