A nurse is caring for a client who had a previous cesarean delivery and is now in labor with her second child.
The client reports a sudden sharp pain in her lower abdomen and vaginal bleeding.
The nurse should suspect which of the following conditions?
placenta previa is a condition where the placenta covers the cervix partially or completely, blocking the baby’s exit. It usually causes painless vaginal bleeding in the third trimester.
uterine atony is a condition where the uterus fails to contract after delivery, leading to postpartum hemorrhage. It is more common in women who have had multiple pregnancies, prolonged labor, or oxytocin induction.
This is a rare but life-threatening complication that can occur in women who have had a previous cesarean delivery and are now in labor with their second child. Uterine rupture happens when the scar from the previous surgery tears open during contractions, causing severe pain, bleeding, and fetal distress.
placental abruption is a condition where the placenta separates from the uterine wall before delivery, causing bleeding, pain, and fetal distress. It is more common in women who have hypertension, trauma, or cocaine use.
This is a rare but life-threatening complication that can occur in women who have had a previous cesarean delivery and are now in labor with their second child.
