Correct Answer: C,E,A,B,D
Rationale: 1. Wrap a warm, moist cloth around the heel to dilate the blood vessels, which makes it easier to obtain the blood sample. 2. Cleanse the heel with an antiseptic to reduce the risk of infection at the puncture site. 3. Puncture the heel and collect the blood, ensuring that the sample is adequate for the test. 4. Apply pressure with a dry gauze pad to stop the bleeding from the puncture site. 5. Cover the heel with an adhesive bandage to protect the area and minimize the risk of infection.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who had a vaginal delivery 1 day ago. The nurse determines that the client's fundus is firm, located 2 fingerbreadths above the umbilicus, and deviated to the left.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A fundus that is firm but deviated to the left suggests that the bladder may be distended. Emptying the bladder can help the uterus to return to its midline position and promote proper uterine involution. Notifying the provider may be necessary if the problem persists, but the first step is to address the most likely cause of the deviation.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 12 weeks of gestation and has hyperemesis gravidarum.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Decreased blood pressure can be an expected manifestation in hyperemesis gravidarum due to dehydration and possible hypovolemia. Pruritus is not a common symptom, and hemoglobin of 18 g/dL is higher than normal, whereas hyperemesis often leads to decreased hemoglobin due to malnutrition.
Extract:
A nurse has just received change-of-shift report about four clients who are postpartum.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following clients should the nurse plan to see first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A client who received magnesium sulfate during labor should be seen first because magnesium sulfate can cause significant side effects like respiratory depression, decreased reflexes, and altered mental status. These effects require close monitoring to prevent severe complications.
Extract:
A nurse in a provider's office is reviewing the medical record of a client who is requesting a diaphragm.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following findings in the client's history should the nurse identify as a contraindication for this type of contraception?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Recurrent urinary tract infections are a contraindication for using a diaphragm because the presence of a foreign object in the vagina can increase the risk of UTIs.
Tobacco use and deep-vein thrombosis are more relevant to hormonal contraceptives, not barrier methods like diaphragms.
