Current Issues in Maternal Newborn Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
A hospital has achieved Magnet status. Which indicators would be consistent with this type of certification?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because increased job satisfaction and lower staff turnover are key indicators of Magnet status, which focuses on nursing excellence and quality care. This is supported by research showing a correlation between Magnet hospitals and positive nurse outcomes. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not directly align with the criteria for Magnet status, which primarily emphasizes nursing excellence rather than physician certification or educational requirements for nurses.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing a patient’s use of complementary and alternative therapies. Which should the nurse document as an alternative or complementary therapy practice? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because practicing yoga daily is a recognized complementary therapy that promotes physical and mental well-being. Yoga has been shown to reduce stress, improve flexibility, and enhance overall health. B is incorrect as drinking green tea is considered a dietary choice rather than a specific alternative therapy practice. C is incorrect as taking omeprazole is a conventional medication for acid reflux, not a complementary therapy. D is incorrect as aromatherapy is a complementary therapy, but using it during a relaxing bath is not a specific practice related to alternative therapies.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is providing education for disease prevention to the adult female patient. Which factor puts the patient at a higher risk for multisystem disease processes such as cardiac issues, gynecological issues, and cancers?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: Smoking two packs of cigarettes a day is a significant risk factor for multisystem disease processes due to the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke, which can lead to cardiovascular diseases, gynecological issues, and various cancers. Step 2: The nicotine and other toxins in cigarettes can damage the heart, blood vessels, reproductive organs, and increase the risk of developing different types of cancers. Step 3: Choices A, C, and D are not as directly linked to multisystem disease processes as smoking. Consuming two glasses of wine a week may have some health benefits, a BMI over 32 is a risk factor but not as directly related to the mentioned diseases, and poor intake of calcium and vegetables may lead to deficiencies but not as significantly connected to the mentioned diseases.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is providing care to a 75-year-old female patient diagnosed with osteoporosis. Which of the following would be the priority nursing diagnosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: At risk for falls related to impaired balance. This is the priority nursing diagnosis because falls in elderly patients with osteoporosis can lead to serious consequences such as fractures. Assessing and addressing impaired balance can help prevent falls. Choice B is incorrect as addressing the risk of falls is more urgent than educating the patient on a new medication regimen. Choice C is also incorrect as addressing mobility issues can come after addressing the risk of falls. Choice D is incorrect as it focuses on health maintenance rather than immediate safety concerns like the risk of falls.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is arranging education for the menopausal support group regarding the approaches to treat the symptoms. Which of the following would be components of current treatments? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: Moderate-intensity exercises are recommended for managing menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings by improving overall health and reducing stress. Exercise can also help with weight management and bone health. Summary: - Balanced diet with calcium (B) is important for overall health but not specific to treating menopausal symptoms. - Alternative medicine like black cohosh (C) may have limited evidence and can vary in effectiveness. - Over-the-counter sleep aids (D) may help with sleep disturbances but are not specific to managing menopausal symptoms.
