A nurse manager on the labor and delivery unit is teaching a group of newly licensed nurses about maternal cytomegalovirus. Which of the following information should the nurse manager include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Maternal cytomegalovirus can be transmitted to the newborn through saliva and urine. This is important for healthcare providers to understand as it influences infection control practices in the care of both the mother and the newborn. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Acyclovir is used to treat herpes simplex virus, not cytomegalovirus.

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about increasing dietary fiber to an antepartum client who reports constipation. Which of the following food selections has the highest fiber content per cup?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Lentils. Lentils have a high fiber content, providing about 15.6 grams of fiber per cooked cup. This high fiber content can help alleviate constipation in the antepartum client. Oatmeal, cabbage, and asparagus have lower fiber content compared to lentils. Oatmeal contains around 4 grams of fiber per cup, cabbage has about 2 grams per cup, and asparagus provides about 3 grams of fiber per cup.
Therefore, lentils offer the highest fiber content per cup among the options provided, making them the most suitable choice to address constipation in the antepartum client.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who is breastfeeding her newborn. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Breastfeeding on demand helps establish a healthy feeding pattern and promotes bonding between the mother and baby. Option A is incorrect because newborns should feed until they are satisfied, not based on time. Option B is incorrect as newborns should not be given water as it can interfere with breastfeeding and lead to water intoxication. Option C is incorrect as newborns should have at least 6-8 wet diapers a day.
