Nursing interventions and Management ( 6 Questions)
A nurse is educating a client with PPROM at 30 weeks of gestation who is being discharged home on bed rest with bathroom privileges.
Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching plan? (Select all that apply.).
changing perineal pads frequently and reporting any changes in color or odor of amniotic fluid leakage can help prevent infection and monitor fetal well-being.
drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding caffeine and alcohol are not specific to PPROM management. These are general recommendations for pregnant women to stay hydrated and avoid substances that can harm the fetus.
monitoring fetal movements daily and reporting any decrease or absence can help detect signs of fetal distress or demise.
having sexual intercourse or douching can increase the risk of infection and preterm labor in PPROM. These activities should be avoided unless approved by the doctor.
reporting any signs of infection, labor, cord prolapse, or fetal distress immediately can help initiate prompt treatment and improve outcomes. Normal ranges for PPROM are not applicable as PPROM is a complication of pregnancy that occurs before 37 weeks of gestation.
These are the instructions that the nurse should include in the teaching plan for a client with PPROM at 30 weeks of gestation who is being discharged home on bed rest with bathroom privileges.
