Question 1 of 5
A 28-year-old patient has decided to use the patch contraception. The nurse is educating her on the best site to use. Where is the best place to put the patch? Select one that does not that apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The best sites for applying the contraceptive patch are the buttocks, arm, and leg. These areas have sufficient fat and are away from areas that might rub off the patch. Choice B (Neck) is incorrect as the neck is not recommended for patch application due to the potential for irritation and the high blood flow area. Choice C (Breast) is not recommended because the breast tissue may affect the adhesion of the patch.
Question 2 of 5
Which circumstance is most likely to cause uterine partum assessment with a woman who is 4 days atony and lead to excessive blood loss?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Orthostatic hypotension, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing, can result in decreased perfusion to the uterus, leading to poor contraction of the uterine muscles. This can result in uterine atony, where the uterus fails to contract properly after delivery. Uterine atony is a common cause of excessive postpartum bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage). Without proper contraction of the uterus, the blood vessels that supplied the placenta during pregnancy remain open and bleeding can continue unchecked.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is planning to teach a group of clients who are about breastfeeding after returning to work. Which of the following infection should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct information for breastfeeding after returning to work is that thawed breast milk that is unused should not be refrozen. Once breast milk has been thawed, it should be used within 24 hours and should not be refrozen. This is important to prevent contamination and maintain the quality of the breast milk for the baby. The other statements provided in the options are correct guidelines regarding the storage of breast milk. Thawed breast milk can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, breast milk can be stored in a deep freezer for up to 12 months, and breast milk can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 hours.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse provides education regarding female sterilization. What important information is provided?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The important information provided regarding female sterilization is that tubal ligation, which is a form of female sterilization, is generally considered irreversible. This means that it is a permanent method of contraception and should not be relied upon as a temporary solution. It is important for individuals considering this procedure to understand that it is meant to be permanent and should be approached as such. If there is any consideration for future fertility, alternative contraceptive options should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

The nurse is assessing a client at 36 weeks' gestation who reports swelling in the hands and face. What is the priority nursing action?
