Correct Answer: B

Question 2 of 5

A mother brings her 1-month-old son to the clinic for a well-baby visit. The child has a moderately severe hypospadias that was seen by a urologist in the newborn nursery. The mother is upset that the doctors would not circumcise her son before he was discharged. What information should the nurse include when responding to the mother?

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for four antepartum clients. Which client should the nurse see first?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A suspected ectopic pregnancy is a medical emergency due to the risk of rupture and internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening.

This client requires immediate assessment and intervention, prioritizing over hyperemesis gravidarum (which, while serious, is less immediately life-threatening), molar pregnancy (which needs monitoring but is not an acute emergency), and threatened miscarriage (which requires evaluation but is less urgent without active bleeding or pain).
