The nurse is assessing a "high-risk" woman in labor. She notices that the baby's fetal heart rate is decreasing to 50 beats per minute for 80 second periods and recurring. The nurse should immediately __________.
Placing the mother on her left side can increase placental blood flow and increase the baby's oxygenation. Placing the mother on her right side, in Trendelenburg (head down), in the tripod position (sitting forward, hands on knees), or with her feet in the air is not of equal benefit.

The nurse advises a woman with mild pre-eclampsia to do all of the following except __________.
It is not necessary to limit water intake in women with pre-eclampsia. It is important that women with pre-eclampsia drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. The ingestion of water may even help reduce swelling. Checking blood pressure and body weight frequently are important in tracking fluid levels. It is also important to keep track of fetal movement and notify a provider immediately if decrease in movement is noted. Women who are preeclamptic may spill protein into their urine as a result of malfunctioning kidneys.

Which of the following ethnic groups should consider genetic counseling for thalassemia?
Thalassemia, an inherited autosomal recessive blood disorder, is characterized by an abnormal form of hemoglobin. Those of Mediterranean ancestry may be carriers of the disease and genetic counseling is recommended. African Americans are at risk for carrying the gene for sickle-cell disease, another inherited blood disorder that alters the form of hemoglobin. Nothern European descendants of Jewish ancestry are at risk for carrying Tay-Sachs disease, a rare, inherited nervous system disorder. Native Americans are not commonly at risk for passing on genetically inherited disorders.

Which of the following assessments is not a focal point of the postpartum assessment?
The postpartum assessment includes vital signs (blood pressure, pulse), fundus (location, height, consistency), lochia (color, volume), urinary output (measure first void), and bonding between the mother and infant. The postpartum assessment is valuable because it allows for nursing interventions at warning signs of postpartum complications, including infection, hemorrhage, and uterine atony. Stool assessment is not a vital part of the postpartum assessment because it does not lend information to the assessment of potential danger signs.

How can endometriosis affect fertility and miscarriage rates?
Endometriosis will increases risk of both infertility and of miscarriage. This may be due to a paracrine effect as hormones are released locally by ectopic endometrial tissue, causing disruptions in hormone levels required for implantation and for sustaining an implanted embryo before the formation of the placenta.

Endometriosis is more common in the presence of what food allergy-related condition?
In a study surveying 120 women with endometriosis, the prevalence of celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by ingestion of gluten, was nearly four times higher than the general population. No association has been made between the presence of endometriosis and lactose intolerance or incidence of anaphylaxis.
