Question 1 of 5
A 33-year-old patient in active labor is experiencing back labor†with intense pain in her lower back. Which nursing intervention would be most effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Counterpressure against the sacrum. This helps relieve back labor pain by applying pressure to the sacrum area, providing counter stimulation to lessen the intensity of pain. This intervention targets the specific area of discomfort and can be effective in providing relief during labor. Pant-blow breathing techniques (B) and conscious relaxation/guided imagery (D) are general pain management strategies that may not directly address the back labor pain. Encouragement (C) is supportive but may not effectively alleviate the intense pain experienced during back labor.

HT is not indicated for preventing breast cancer, as it may actually increase the risk. 3. Studies show that HT does not prevent cardiovascular disease and may even increase the risk. 4.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is counseling a 62-year-old patient with a T score of −2.0 after her dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan. What is the best advice for this patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the patient has osteoporosis with a T score of -2.0, indicating a higher risk of fractures. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation are essential for bone health. The recommended daily intake is 1200 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D. This combination helps improve bone density and reduce fracture risk. Choice A is incorrect as it lacks the necessary vitamin D component. Choice B is incorrect as swimming and cycling are not weight-bearing exercises that help improve bone density. Choice C may be considered in severe cases but is not the first-line recommendation for a T score of -2.0.
Question 5 of 5
A patient has just begun taking calcitriol. Which nursing implication would the nurse do?

This is because calcitriol regulates calcium absorption. Weight monitoring (A) may not be directly related. Teaching side effects (C) is important but not specific to calcitriol.
