A client is diagnosed with anaphylactoid syndrome. Which therapeutic intervention does the nurse suspect will be included in the plan of care?
a. Normal amniotic fluid
b. Initiation of CPR and other life support measures
c. Respiratory treatments with nebulizers
d. Internal fetal monitoring
ANS: B
Anaphylactoid syndrome was previously known as amniotic fluid embolism. This is a rare complication that results in a medical emergency in which CPR measures are initiated and mechanical ventilation, correction of shock and hypotension, and blood component therapy are also begun. Meconium-stained fluid is associated with particulate matter that may be found in the maternal circulation. Internal fetal monitoring may provide a potential source of entry because it is an invasive procedure. The use of nebulizers is not indicated.
