Pregnancy Assessment Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A newly pregnant patient tells the nurse that she has irregular periods and is unsure of when she got pregnant. Scheduling an ultrasound is a standing prescription for the patient's health care provider. When is the best time for the nurse to schedule the patient's ultrasound?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The best time to schedule the ultrasound immediately is because in early pregnancy, it is crucial to confirm the gestational age, rule out ectopic pregnancy, and assess fetal viability. This allows for accurate dating, identification of potential complications, and timely interventions if needed. Waiting for 2, 4, or 6 weeks could delay necessary care and potentially compromise the well-being of the patient and the fetus. Early detection and management of any issues are essential in ensuring a healthy pregnancy outcome.

Rationale: In 1983, Congress established the prospective payment system (PPS), which grouped inpatient hospital services for Medicare patients into diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), each of which provides a fixed reimbursement amount based on assigned DRG, regardless of a patient’s length of stay or use of services.
