A nurse is collecting data from a client who has placenta previa. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Choice A reason: Persistent contractions signal labor or abruption, not previa. Placenta previa causes painless bleeding from placental positioning, not uterine activity.Choice B reason: Increased fetal movement isn’t tied to previa; it’s a fetal response indicator. Previa’s hallmark is maternal bleeding, not fetal behavior changes.Choice C reason: Rigid abdomen suggests abruption with clot formation, not previa. Previa bleeding is external, leaving the uterus soft, not tense.Choice D reason: Bright red vaginal bleeding is classic in placenta previa, from low placental implantation. It’s painless, distinguishing it from other complications.
