A nurse is planning care for a client who is at 10 weeks of gestation and reports abdominal pain and moderate vaginal bleeding. The tentative diagnosis is inevitable abortion. Which of the following nursing interventions should be included in the plan of care?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Assist the Physician to perform D&C
Rationale:
🔵Inevitable abortion is characterized by cervical dilation, bleeding, and cramping, with no possibility of pregnancy continuation.
🔵The appropriate management involves removing retained products of conception, often via dilation and curettage (D&C).
🔵This intervention helps prevent hemorrhage and infection, which are significant risks if tissue remains in the uterus.
🔵Bed rest and dietary changes cannot stop the process, as the miscarriage is already in progress.
🔵Nursing care focuses on providing emotional support, pain management, and preparing the client for the procedure.
