Question 3 of 5
A nurse is leading a discussion about contraception with a group of 14-year-old-client. After the presentation a client asks the client which method would be best for her to use. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The appropriate response for the nurse to provide to the 14-year-old client who asks the best contraception method for her is to gather more information about her sexual activity first. This approach is essential in understanding the client's individual needs and situation before recommending a suitable contraceptive method. It allows the nurse to offer personalized and accurate advice based on the client's specific circumstances, rather than making assumptions or providing generic recommendations. By starting with a discussion about the client's sexual activity, the nurse can ensure that the advice given is tailored to the client's needs and preferences, promoting informed decision-making and effective contraceptive use.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is gravida 3, para 2, and is in active labor. The fetal head is at 3+ station after a vaginal examination. Which of the following actions should the nurse take
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Observing for crowning is the appropriate action for the nurse to take when the fetal head is at 3+ station after a vaginal examination. Crowning refers to the appearance of the baby's head at the vaginal opening during delivery. This indicates that the baby is descending and will be born soon. It is important for the nurse to be prepared for the actual birth once crowning is observed, as it signifies that the second stage of labor is progressing and delivery is imminent. Applying fundal pressure, observing for a nuchal cord, or preparing to administer oxytocin are not appropriate actions at this stage of labor when crowning has been observed.
Question 5 of 5
