Question 1 of 5
A male infant delivered at 28 weeks gestation weighs 2 pounds, 12 ounces. When performing an assessment, the nurse would probably observe:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A male infant delivered at 28 weeks gestation, as described, would likely have very underdeveloped skin due to the premature birth. The premature skin is often transparent, allowing the prominent blood vessels underneath to be visible, and may also have a reddish hue due to the skin's immaturity. This characteristic appearance is a common finding in premature infants and is a result of their skin being thinner and more fragile than that of full-term infants. The other options, such as a wide, staring eye, an absence of lanugo, and a scrotum with descended testicles, are not specifically associated with premature birth and are not likely to be observed in this scenario.
Question 2 of 5
What technique is used for visualization and deepening in HypnoBirthing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The 'on-off' switch is a visualization technique used in HypnoBirthing to deepen relaxation.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client pregnant with twins. Which statement indicates that the client needs additional information?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The statement 'Because both of my twins are boys, I know that they are identical' is incorrect because twins can be fraternal and of the same sex. Identical twins result from one fertilized egg splitting, while fraternal twins result from two separate fertilized eggs.
Question 4 of 5
A community health nurse is providing education on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) to a group of clients who are pregnant when discussing risk factors, which of the following ethnicities should the nurse identify as having the lowest incidence of GDM?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Non-Hispanic White Americans have been reported to have the lowest incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) compared to other ethnicities. Studies have shown that Asian, Hispanic, and African American populations have higher rates of developing GDM during pregnancy. This may be due to genetic predispositions, lifestyle factors, and varying degrees of insulin resistance among different ethnic groups.
Therefore, when discussing risk factors for GDM, the community health nurse should identify Non-Hispanic White Americans as having the lowest incidence of GDM.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse knows that contraindication of the induction of labor includes:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placenta previa is a contraindication for the induction of labor because the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix. Inducing labor in this situation can lead to complications such as excessive bleeding and compromised blood flow to the baby.
Therefore, it is important to avoid inducing labor in cases of placenta previa to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby.
