The nurse identifies the following assessment findings in a client who is 36 weeks' gestation. Which should be immediately reported to the provider?

A. Administer Oxytocin IV per MD orders. This may be done after attempting fundal massage to help firm the uterus, but massage is the first step.
B. Notify the healthcare provider. This would be done if the fundus does not respond to massage or if excessive bleeding continues, but not before attempting to firm the fundus.
C. Document the fundal height and consistency. Documentation is important but should occur after addressing the immediate issue of a soft fundus to prevent hemorrhage.
D. Massage the fundus until it firms. The immediate action should be to massage the uterus to promote contraction and reduce bleeding. A soft, spongy uterus indicates uterine atony, which can lead to hemorrhage.

A. Substance use. Parents or caregivers who use substances are more likely to abuse children due to impaired judgment and increased stress levels.
B. Extreme stress. High levels of stress in the family can increase the risk of child abuse as it can lead to frustration and inappropriate coping mechanisms.
C. High socioeconomic background. This is not typically associated with increased risk of child abuse; abuse can occur across all socioeconomic levels, but certain stressors are more prevalent in lower socioeconomic contexts.
D. Strong support system. A strong support system typically acts as a protective factor against child abuse by providing resources and emotional support to caregivers.
E. Prematurity. Premature infants often have increased care needs, which can lead to parental stress and potential abuse.
F. Chronic illness. Children with chronic illnesses may require more care, leading to caregiver stress and higher risk of abuse.
