5. Place the
client in a
lateral
position.
R: The lateral
position relieves
pressure on the
inferior vena
7
cava and
enhances
placental
circulation and
oxygen
exchange. Urge
the client to rest
in a left side-lying
position to help 8
prevent vena
cava
compression.
6. Schedule
the client’s
periods of
rest and
activities.
R: The client may
avoid strenuous
activities for 24 to
48 hours to
prevent a
9
threatened
abortion,
assuming the
threatened
miscarriage
involves a live
fetus and
presumed
placental
bleeding.

vaginal
10
examinati
ons.
R: Omitting
vaginal
examinations
prevent tearing of
the placenta if
placenta previa is
the cause of the

8. Carry
out/repeat
NST, as
indicated.
R: Electronically
evaluating the
FHR response to
fetal movements
is useful in
determining fetal
well-being
(reactive test)
versus hypoxia
(nonreactive).
Additionally, this
assesses
whether labor
and fetal status
are still present.
9. Assist with
ultrasonog
raphy and
amniocent
esis.
Explain
procedure
s.
R: Ultrasound is
used to
determine if the
fetus is living and
supplies
information about
placental and
fetal well-being.
