Question 1 of 5
A woman has been recently diagnosed with systemic lupus and shares with the nurse, 'I am thinking about getting pregnant, but I don't know how I will be able to tolerate a pregnancy since I have lupus.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should assess the duration of remission, as women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) should be in remission for at least 5 months before conceiving to minimize risks of maternal and fetal complications. Pregnancy does not typically improve SLE symptoms, gestation length is unaffected, and early pregnancy post-diagnosis is not recommended.

Question 3 of 5
An adult is being discharged from the emergency room with instructions to apply a cold pack to his sprained ankle. The client asks why it is necessary to use a cold pack. The nurse replies that the cold pack will do which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
