Question 1 of 5

A client is being treated with eclampsia. What is a priority nursing intervention?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Eclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy characterized by seizures. Hyperreflexia is often a precursor to eclampsia, and assessing for it can help predict and manage the condition before seizures occur.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is 36 weeks pregnant and reports leaking fluid. Which of the following tests should the nurse use to confirm that the client¢â‚¬â„¢s membranes have ruptured?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The fern test is used to confirm rupture of membranes. A sample of vaginal fluid is examined under a microscope, and the presence of a fern-like pattern indicates the presence of amniotic fluid.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse has provided education to a client who has been prescribed oral contraception. Which of the following client statements indicates a need for further education?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct course of action after missing oral contraceptive pills depends on how many pills are missed. If three pills are missed, the client should not 'double up' but rather follow the manufacturer's instructions and use an alternative form of contraception until the next cycle. Taking too many pills at once increases the risk of side effects without restoring contraceptive protection.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is reviewing a client's medical record and notes that the client is taking tamoxifen. The nurse should identify that tamoxifen is used to treat which of the following conditions?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Tamoxifen is an anti-estrogen medication primarily used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It works by blocking estrogen receptors in breast tissue, slowing the growth of tumors that require estrogen to grow.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client in active labor. The nurse notes variable decelerations in the fetal heart rate. Which of the following is the priority nursing action?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Variable decelerations are often caused by umbilical cord compression. Repositioning the client can help alleviate pressure on the cord and improve fetal oxygenation.
