Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client following an amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider as a potential complication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Leakage of fluid from the vagina. This finding could indicate an amniotic fluid leak, which is a potential complication following an amniocentesis. Amniotic fluid leakage can lead to infection and preterm labor. Increased fetal movement (choice
A) is a normal sign of fetal well-being. Upper abdominal discomfort (choice
C) and urinary frequency (choice
D) are common after an amniocentesis and are not typically concerning unless severe or persistent.

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following nursing actions should the nurse plan to take? For each potential nursing action, click to specify it the intervention is indicated or contraindicated for the client.
| Potential Nursing Action | Indicated | Contraindicated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insert a large bore intravenous catheter. | |||
| Assess cervical dilation. | |||
| Weigh perineal pads. | |||
| Administer methotrexate. |
Correct Answer: A, C
Rationale: [1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1]
Inserting a large bore IV catheter is indicated for rapid fluid resuscitation. Weighing perineal pads helps monitor postpartum hemorrhage. Assessing cervical dilation and administering methotrexate are not appropriate in this scenario.

Question 3 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to implement? For each potential nursing action, click to specify if the intervention is Indicated or contraindicated for the newborn
| Potential Nursing Action | Indicated | Contraindicated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Educate the parents to begin range of motion exercises on the affected arm after 1 week. | |||
| Assess for grasp reflex in the affected extremity. | |||
| Immobilize the arm across the abdomen by pinning the newborn's sleeve to their shirt. | |||
| Instruct parents to limit physical handling for 2 weeks. |
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: [0, 1, 0, 0]
Assess for grasp reflex in the affected extremity is the correct answer. This action is indicated as it allows the nurse to evaluate neurological function and muscle strength in the affected arm without causing harm. Educating parents to begin range of motion exercises after 1 week (
A) is contraindicated as it may exacerbate injury or delay healing. Immobilizing the arm across the abdomen (
C) is also contraindicated as it can restrict movement and hinder recovery. Instructing parents to limit physical handling for 2 weeks (
D) is not the best option as it may not provide the necessary assessment and treatment for the newborn's condition.

Question 4 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider? Select all that apply
| Abdominal assessment. |
| Vaginal Discharge. |
| Heart rate. |
| Temperature. |
| Dyspareunia. |
| Condom usage. |
Correct Answer: B, E
Rationale:
The nurse should report vaginal discharge (
B) as it could indicate infection or other issues. Dyspareunia (E) should also be reported as it can indicate underlying problems. Abdominal assessment (
A) may be part of routine care but doesn't necessarily require immediate reporting. Heart rate (
C) and temperature (
D) are vital signs that should be monitored but don't specifically indicate a need for immediate reporting. Condom usage (F) is important for sexual health discussions but does not require reporting to the provider.

Adolescent is sexually active with two current partners.
IUD in place
Reports not using condoms during sexual activity.
History of type 1 diabetes mellitus”
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following conditions should the nurse identify as being consistent with the adolescent's assessment findings? For each finding click to specify if the assessment findings are consistent with trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, or candidiasis. Each finding may support more than one disease process.
| Assessment Findings | Trichomoniasis | Gonorrhea | Candidiasis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abdominal pain. | |||
| Greenish discharge. | |||
| Diabetes. | |||
| Pain on urination. | |||
| Absence of condom. |
Correct Answer: B, D
Rationale:
To determine the correct answer, we look at the assessment findings. For "Greenish discharge," this is consistent with both trichomoniasis and gonorrhea. Trichomoniasis typically presents with a frothy, yellow-green discharge, while gonorrhea can cause a greenish or yellow discharge. "Pain on urination" is also a common symptom of both gonorrhea and trichomoniasis.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, D. Abdominal pain is not specific to any of the mentioned conditions and is not a defining symptom. Diabetes is not directly related to the assessment findings provided. The absence of a condom is not a symptom but rather a risk factor for sexually transmitted infections.
