Question 3 of 5

Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a contraindication to the use of a suppository?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: C. Third-degree perineal laceration is a contraindication to the use of a suppository due to the risk of causing further trauma and infection. Suppositories are typically inserted rectally, and in the case of a third-degree perineal laceration, there is a significant risk of exacerbating the injury and delaying healing.

Incorrect

Choices:
A: Vaginal candidiasis - This is not a contraindication as suppositories can be used in the vagina for treating candidiasis.
B: Afterpains - Afterpains are not a contraindication for the use of a suppository.
D: Abdominal distention - Abdominal distention is not a direct contraindication to the use of a suppository unless it is due to a specific condition that may be worsened by the suppository.

Extract:

A nurse is performing a nutritional assessment for a client during their first prenatal visit at 12 weeks of gestation.


Question 4 of 5

Which of the following findings indicates that the client should be referred to a registered dietician?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because a 4 kg (10 lb) weight gain since a positive pregnancy test can indicate potential issues with nutrition during pregnancy, such as excessive weight gain or inadequate nutrient intake. This finding suggests the need for specialized dietary guidance from a registered dietitian.
Choice B is incorrect as eating prunes for constipation is a common dietary practice and does not necessarily require a dietician referral.
Choice C indicates the client is taking a multivitamin, which is generally a positive health behavior but does not alone warrant a dietitian referral.
Choice D of experiencing morning nausea is common in pregnancy and does not directly relate to needing dietitian intervention.
