Question 3 of 5
A 35-year-old patient comes to the clinic 2 days after a tubal ligation. She complains of abdominal pain and swelling and redness at the surgical incision. What does the nurse know is a common complication of this procedure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Infection is a common complication after tubal ligation, indicated by redness and swelling at the surgical site. Choice A is incorrect as ileus is a bowel obstruction, not typically a complication of tubal ligation. Choice B, liver enlargement, is unrelated to tubal ligation. Choice C, constipation, may be a side effect but is not a primary concern after this procedure.
Question 4 of 5
A patient calls and says she used her diaphragm on Saturday night at 8:00 p.m., again on Sunday morning at 2:00 a.m., and again at 8:00 a.m. She is wondering when she can safely remove it while still having effective contraception. What is the nurse’s best response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In general, a diaphragm should be left in place for at least 6 hours after intercourse but no more than 24 hours. Based on the patient's usage times on Saturday night at 8:00 p.m., Sunday morning at 2:00 a.m., and Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m., she can safely remove the diaphragm on Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. This ensures she has used it for the necessary timeframe for effective contraception.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is providing education on a medical abortion. How would she describe the action of the medications?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Medications used in a medical abortion typically consist of a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol. The action of these medications involves three main effects: softening the cervix to facilitate the expulsion of the pregnancy tissue, causing necrosis of the uterine lining to disrupt the pregnancy, and inducing contractions to expel the contents of the uterus. This process is different from a surgical abortion, which involves a procedure to remove the pregnancy tissue from the uterus.
