A nurse is assessing the newborn of a client who took a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) during pregnancy. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse identify as an indication of withdrawal from an SSRI?

A. The cervix being effaced is not represented by the -1 notation in a vaginal examination. Effacement is usually expressed as a percentage.

B. The -1 notation does not represent cervical dilation. Dilation is measured in centimeters.

C. The presenting part being 1 cm below the ischial spines is not correct. In the station system, if the presenting part is above the ischial spines, it is represented by a negative number. A -1 station indicates that the presenting part is 1 cm above the ischial spines.

D. The presenting part is 1 cm above the ischial spines is the correct interpretation.

In the station system, if the presenting part is above the ischial spines, it is represented by a negative number. A -1 station indicates that the presenting part is 1 cm above the ischial spines.

The correct answer is B.

A. Increased fetal movement: Increased fetal movement is generally not considered a complication after an amniocentesis. Fetal movement is a positive sign, indicating fetal well-being. However, it's important to monitor for any changes in movement patterns.

B. Leakage of fluid from the vagina: Leakage of amniotic fluid from the vagina is a potential complication after amniocentesis. It may indicate rupture of the amniotic sac, which can lead to preterm labor and other complications. This finding should be reported promptly to the healthcare provider.

C. Upper abdominal discomfort: Mild upper abdominal discomfort can occur after an amniocentesis, but it is not typically a severe complication. It may be related to the procedure itself and often resolves with rest. However, persistent or severe discomfort should be reported.

D. Urinary frequency: Urinary frequency is not typically associated with complications after an amniocentesis. It may be a normal symptom related to the position of the uterus or other factors, but it does not generally warrant immediate reporting as a complication.
