Question

A client at 30 weeks' gestation is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of low-lying placenta previa with slight vaginal bleeding. the client is stabilized, and bleeding ceases. what is the nurse's primary focus when providing discharge teaching about care at home for this client?

Answer 1

The primary focus for the nurse when providing discharge teaching about care at home for this client is

 to advise the client to avoid situations that may stimulate the uterus and embryo which is inside viviparous animals.

 In human beings normal birth occurs at a gestation age which is 40 weeks but, it can occur between 37 and 42 weeks. Low-lying placenta previa is when the placenta attaches inside of the uterus but over or near cervical opening.

 The risk factor for this may include smoking, pregnancy at an older age and cesarean section. The baby can have complications which may include fetal growth restrictions.
