Question 2 of 5
To facilitate adequate urinary elimination during the postpartum period, the nurse should incorporate which intervention into the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Educating the patient to use pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises) will help strengthen pelvic floor muscles. Carbonated beverages will lead to increased gas and potential gastrointestinal discomfort. During the postpartum period, the patient is at greater risk for dehydration and thus should increase fluids. Limitation of fluids is not warranted during the postpartum period.
Question 3 of 5
During which stage of role attainment do the parents become acquainted with their baby and combine parenting activities with cues from the infant?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A major task of the formal stage of role attainment is getting acquainted with the infant. The informal stage begins once the parents have learned appropriate responses to their infant's cues. The personal stage is attained when parents feel a sense of harmony in their role. The anticipatory stage begins during the pregnancy when the parents choose a physician and attend childbirth classes.
Question 4 of 5
A postpartum patient calls the clinic and reports to the nurse feelings of fatigue, tearfulness, and anxiety. What is the nurse's most appropriate response at this time?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the nurse needs to differentiate between postpartum blues and more serious conditions like postpartum depression. By asking if the patient is able to care for her baby, the nurse is assessing the severity of the symptoms and determining if the patient needs further evaluation or support. This response shows a proactive approach to addressing the patient's concerns and ensuring proper care.
