Correct Answer is A

Explanation

a. The function of the ductus arteriosus is to bypass the lungs in fetal circulation, allowing oxygenated blood from the placenta to be shunted directly to systemic circulation.
b. Ductus arteriosus does not bypass the brain; it specifically bypasses the lungs.

c. Ductus venosus shunts blood away from the liver, not the ductus arteriosus.

d. Ductus arteriosus shunts blood away from the lungs, not the heart itself.

A. Assist the patient to ambulate. B. Decrease the rate of infusion of the maintenance IV solution C. Increase the rate of infusion of the IV oxytocin. D. Discontinue the infusion of the IV oxytocin

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

a. This is not the correct action for this situation.

b. This is not the correct action for this situation.

c. This is not the correct action for this situation.

d. The patient is experiencing uterine tachysystole, which is defined as more than five contractions in 10 minutes, lasting longer than 90 seconds, or with less than 30 seconds of interval between contractions. This can cause fetal hypoxia and distress, as evidenced by late decelerations in the fetal heart rate tracing. The nurse should stop the oxytocin, increase the IV fluid rate, position the patient on her left side, administer oxygen, and notify the provider.
