Question 1 of 5

A client who is 2 hours postpartum reports heavy bleeding and passing large clots. What is the nurse's priority action?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Perform fundal massage. Fundal massage promotes uterine contractions, which is the initial action to reduce postpartum hemorrhage caused by uterine atony. Checking vital signs (choice C) is important but not the priority when active bleeding is present. Administering oxytocin IV (choice B) may be needed but is not the priority action. Encouraging the client to void (choice D) does not address the underlying issue of postpartum hemorrhage and should not be the priority.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a thyroidectomy. The client reports tingling in the fingers and around the mouth. The nurse should anticipate which of the following interventions?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Tingling in the fingers and around the mouth is a sign of hypocalcemia, which can occur after thyroid surgery due to accidental damage to the parathyroid glands. Hypocalcemia is common after thyroidectomy due to potential parathyroid damage. Calcium gluconate is the appropriate intervention to treat hypocalcemia. Providing a high-protein diet or administering levothyroxine are not indicated for hypocalcemia. Applying a warm compress to the client's neck would not address the underlying issue of hypocalcemia.

Question 3 of 5

A client who is 2 hours postpartum reports heavy bleeding and passing large clots. What is the nurse's priority action?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Perform fundal massage. Fundal massage promotes uterine contractions, which is the initial action to reduce postpartum hemorrhage caused by uterine atony. Checking vital signs (choice C) is important but not the priority when active bleeding is present. Administering oxytocin IV (choice B) may be needed but is not the priority action. Encouraging the client to void (choice D) does not address the underlying issue of postpartum hemorrhage and should not be the priority.

Question 4 of 5

When designing a program for young adults regarding safe sexual practices, which strategy might reach the greatest number in the target group?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Web-based applications are the most effective strategy for reaching young adults in the target group regarding safe sexual practices. Young adults today are highly engaged with mobile technology and the internet, making web-based applications the most accessible and convenient method to disseminate information. Print-based media like newspapers may not have the same reach and engagement among young adults. Television advertisements might reach a broader audience, but they may not be as targeted to the specific demographic of young adults. Brochures in kiosks in malls are less likely to reach a large number of young adults compared to web-based applications, which can be accessed anytime and anywhere through mobile devices.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has a femur fracture and is in skeletal traction. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Severe pain that is not relieved by analgesics may indicate neurovascular compromise or other complications and requires immediate attention by the provider. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because clear fluid drainage from the pin sites is expected in skeletal traction, intermittent muscle spasms are common in this situation, and traction weights hanging freely indicate proper traction alignment.
