Extract:
A pregnant woman asking about amniotic fluid
Question 1 of 5
During a prenatal visit, a pregnant woman says, 'I know the amniotic fluid is important, but can you tell me more about it?' When describing amniotic fluid to a pregnant woman, which description would the nurse most likely include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Amniotic fluid cushions the fetus against injury, aiding movement and growth. Its volume varies (peaks at term), is mostly water (not protein), and doesn't transport oxygen or nutrients, which the placenta handles.
Extract:
A woman in her first trimester
Question 2 of 5
When assessing a woman in her first trimester, which emotional response would the nurse most likely expect to find?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Emotional lability, with mood swings, is common in the first trimester due to hormonal shifts and stress. Ambivalence may occur if unplanned, introversion is a trait, and acceptance develops later.
Extract:
A client suspected of having a ruptured ectopic pregnancy
Question 3 of 5
A client is suspected of having a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Which assessment would the nurse identify as the priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A ruptured ectopic pregnancy causes internal bleeding, leading to hypovolemic shock, making hemorrhage the priority assessment. Edema, infection, or jaundice may occur later but are less urgent than life-threatening bleeding.
Extract:
A client at her first prenatal visit
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about nutrition to a client at her first prenatal visit. Which of the following statements by the nurse should be included in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prenatal vitamins provide 600 mcg/day folic acid, meeting pregnancy needs to prevent neural tube defects. Vitamin E needs remain at 15 mg/day, protein increases slightly to 1.1 g/kg/day (not doubled), and calcium needs stay at 1000 mg/day due to enhanced absorption, not requiring an increase.
Extract:
A client receiving chlordiazepoxide 50 mg PO every 8 hours
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer chlordiazepoxide 50 mg PO every 8 hours to a client. The amount available is chlordiazepoxide 25 mg per capsule. How many capsules should the nurse administer per dose?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dose (50 mg) / concentration (25 mg/capsule) = 2 capsules per dose. Other options miscalculate the number needed to achieve 50 mg.
