QUESTION: 91

Which of the following findings would be abnormal in a postpartal woman?

Chills shortly after delivery
Pulse rate of 60 bpm in morning on first postdelivery day
Urinary output of 3000 mL on the second day after delivery
An oral temperature of 101F (38.3C) on the third day after delivery

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

(A) Frequently the mother experiences a shaking chill immediately after delivery, which is related to a nervous response or to vasomotor changes. If not followed by a fever, it is clinically innocuous. (B) The pulse rate during the immediate postpartal period may be low but presents no cause for alarm. The body attempts to adapt to the decreased pressures intra-abdominally as well as from the reduction of blood flow to the vascular bed. (C) Urinary output increases during the early postpartal period (1224 hours) owing to diuresis. The kidneys must eliminate an estimated 20003000 mL of extracellular fluid associated with a normal pregnancy. (D) A temperature of 100.4F (38C) may occur after delivery as a result of exertion and dehydration of labor. However, any temperature greater than 100.4F needs further investigation to identify any infectious process.

QUESTION: 93

During burn therapy, morphine is primarily administered IV for pain management because this route:

Delays absorption to provide continuous pain relief
Facilitates absorption because absorption from muscles is not dependable
Allows for discontinuance of the medication if respiratory depression develops
Avoids causing additional pain from IM injections

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

(A) Absorption would be increased, not decreased. (B) IM injections should not be used until the client is hemodynamically stable and has adequate tissue perfusion. Medications will remain in the subcutaneous tissue with the fluid that is present in the interstitial spaces in the acute phase of the thermal injury. The client will have a poor response to the medication administered, and a "dumping" of the medication can occur when the medication and fluid are shifted back into the intravascular spaces in the next phase of healing. (C) IV administration of the medication would hasten respiratory compromise, if present. (D) The desire to avoid causing the client additional pain is not a primary reason for this route of administration.
