A nurse is caring for a client who has placenta previa. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement for this client? (Select all that apply.)
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Frequently assess maternal heart rate.
Rationale:
Frequently assess maternal heart rate:
🟢 Monitoring maternal heart rate frequently helps detect early signs of hypovolemia or hemorrhage, which are common complications of placenta previa.
🟢 Changes in heart rate can indicate the severity of bleeding and guide timely interventions.
🟢 Continuous assessment supports maternal safety by allowing prompt responses to hemodynamic instability.
Initiate bed rest with bathroom privileges:
🌿 Bed rest reduces physical activity, minimizing the risk of triggering or worsening bleeding in placenta previa.
🌿 Allowing bathroom privileges ensures the client can meet basic needs without excessive exertion.
🌿 This intervention balances safety with patient comfort and promotes optimal outcomes.
