A newborn is suspected of having fetal alcohol syndrome.
Which finding would the nurse expect to assess?

Choice A rationale
Premature rupture of membranes is a condition that can occur during pregnancy, but it is not directly linked to uterine atony or heavy lochia after delivery.
Choice B rationale
Delivery of an intact placenta within 30 minutes of the birth of the infant is a normal occurrence and would not contribute to uterine atony or heavy lochia.
Choice C rationale
Multigravida status, or having been pregnant more than once, can contribute to uterine atony. The uterus may not contract effectively after multiple pregnancies, leading to heavy lochia.
Choice D rationale
While a history of sexually transmitted infections can impact overall reproductive health, it is not directly linked to uterine atony or heavy lochia after delivery.

Choice A rationale
Oral contraceptives are often used in the treatment of PCOS to restore menstrual regularity. They do this by regulating the hormonal imbalances that cause the irregular periods seen in PCOS678910.
Choice B rationale
While oral contraceptives can indirectly lead to ovulation in some women with PCOS by regulating their menstrual cycles, they are not typically used to directly induce ovulation. Other medications, such as clomiphene or letrozole, are more commonly used for this purpose.

Choice C rationale
While insulin resistance is a common feature of PCOS, oral contraceptives are not typically used to improve insulin uptake. Other medications, such as metformin, are more commonly used for this purpose.
Choice D rationale
While oral contraceptives can help alleviate hirsutism (excessive hair growth) in women with PCOS by reducing levels of circulating androgens, this is typically considered a secondary benefit rather than the primary rationale for their use.
