A pregnant client's last menstrual period was May 4th, 2018. What is this client's estimated delivery date using Naegele's Rule?

Choice A rationale:

The nurse should plan to administer Ampicillin to the client with a group B streptococcus (GBS) B-hemolytic infection. Ampicillin is the first-line antibiotic treatment for intrapartum prophylaxis in GBS-positive pregnant women. It helps prevent the transmission of the bacteria from the mother to the newborn, reducing the risk of early-onset GBS infection in the infant.

Choice B rationale:

Azithromycin is not the appropriate choice for treating GBS B-hemolytic infection during labor. While Azithromycin is effective against certain bacteria, it is not the recommended antibiotic for GBS prophylaxis in labor. Ampicillin or Penicillin is the preferred medication in this scenario.

Choice C rationale:

Ceftriaxone is not the appropriate medication for treating GBS B-hemolytic infection during labor. Ceftriaxone belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and is not the first-line treatment for GBS prophylaxis. Ampicillin or Penicillin is the preferred choice.

Choice D rationale:

Acyclovir is an antiviral medication and is not indicated for the treatment of GBS B-hemolytic infection. GBS is a bacterial infection, and antiviral medications like Acyclovir do not have an effect on bacteria.

Choice A rationale:

Pointing out to the father that the newborn turns toward his voice helps him understand that the baby is already responding to him, promoting bonding.

Choice B rationale:

Asking the father why he is concerned about bonding with the newborn allows the nurse to address specific fears or misconceptions and provide appropriate support.

Choice C rationale:

Encouraging the father to touch and stroke the newborn's skin promotes physical contact and enhances the bonding process.

Choice D rationale:

Demonstrating diapering and swaddling techniques for the father helps him feel more confident in caring for his baby and fosters bonding through caregiving activities.

Choice E rationale:

Encouraging the father to lay the newborn beside him while both are sleeping promotes skin- to-skin contact and allows for bonding during restful moments. However, the nurse should ensure that safety measures are followed to prevent accidental suffocation. By following these actions, the nurse can support the father's bonding with his newborn and facilitate a positive and nurturing parent-infant relationship.
