Question 1 of 5
A 36-year-old divorcee with a successful modeling career finds out that her 18-year-old daughter is expecting her first child. Which is a major factor in determining how this woman will respond to becoming a grandmother?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, the age of the daughter. The major factor in how the woman will respond as a grandmother is the age of her daughter because it directly impacts the circumstances and challenges the daughter may face as a young mother. The woman's age (choice A) and career (choice B) may influence her perspective and ability to support her daughter, but the daughter's age is the primary determinant. Being divorced (choice C) may also play a role in the woman's response, but it is not as significant as the daughter's age in this scenario.
Question 2 of 5
A pregnant patient comes into the medical clinic stating that her family and friends are telling her that she is always talking about the pregnancy and nothing else. She is concerned that something is wrong with her. What psychological behavior is she exhibiting?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Uncertainty. The patient is exhibiting psychological behavior characterized by doubt and indecision regarding her pregnancy. This is evident by her concern and the feedback she is receiving from her family and friends. A: Antepartum obsession is not the correct choice as the patient is not displaying an obsessive preoccupation with her pregnancy. B: Ambivalence is not the correct choice as it refers to conflicting feelings or thoughts, which are not explicitly mentioned in the scenario. C: Uncertainty is essentially the same as choice D, which is the correct answer. In summary, the patient's behavior aligns with uncertainty as she is expressing doubt and worry about her excessive focus on her pregnancy.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing a patient in her 37th week of pregnancy for the psychological responses commonly experienced as birth nears. Which psychological responses should the nurse expect to evaluate? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale for Answer A (Correct): The patient being excited to see her baby is a common psychological response as birth nears. This anticipation and eagerness are typical emotions experienced by expectant mothers as they approach the end of their pregnancy journey. It reflects positive emotional preparation for the upcoming birth. Summary of Incorrect Choices: B: Not preparing the nursery may indicate lack of readiness or emotional readiness for the baby's arrival, but it does not directly relate to the psychological responses commonly experienced as birth nears. C: Expressing concern about recognizing labor signs is a common worry but does not directly point to the psychological responses commonly experienced as birth nears. D: Being concerned about reaching the birth center in time is more related to logistical or practical considerations rather than the psychological responses typically associated with impending childbirth.
Question 4 of 5
Which findings are presumptive signs of pregnancy? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Amenorrhea is a presumptive sign of pregnancy because it refers to the absence of menstrual periods, which is a common indicator of pregnancy. Quickening, Ballottement, and Goodell's sign are not considered presumptive signs of pregnancy as they are more likely to be classified as probable or positive signs of pregnancy. Quickening is the first fetal movements felt by the mother, Ballottement is the passive bouncing of the fetus during a physical examination, and Goodell's sign refers to softening of the cervix. These signs are more specific and typically appear later in pregnancy compared to amenorrhea.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is educating a pregnant client about ways to prevent UTIs. Which statement by the client indicates that she understands the information from the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I should always empty my bladder right after I have intercourse." This is correct because emptying the bladder after intercourse helps to flush out bacteria and reduce the risk of UTIs. Choice A is incorrect as adequate fluid intake is important to prevent UTIs. Choice B is incorrect as drinking Coke does not prevent UTIs and may even increase the risk due to its sugar content. Choice D is incorrect as there is no evidence to suggest that drinking orange juice prevents UTIs. Overall, choice C is the best preventative measure supported by medical evidence.
