Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cephalohematoma is a collection of blood between the skull and its periosteum that occurs due to rupture of blood vessels during birth trauma. It is typically found on one side of the head and does not cross the suture line. In contrast, caput succedaneum is a diffuse swelling that occurs on the newborn's scalp and can cross the suture lines. Nevus flammeus is a vascular birthmark that appears as a pink or red patch on the skin, unrelated to trauma. Erythema toxicum is a benign rash that appears as red spots or patches with a white or yellow papule in the center, also unrelated to trauma.

Question 5 of 9
A patient asks the nurse about using the basal body temperature method as contraception. What statement made by the patient indicates that the patient needs further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B is the statement made by the patient that indicates the need for further teaching. In the basal body temperature method of contraception, a sustained temperature rise typically indicates ovulation has already occurred, making it unsafe to have condomless sex. It is the drop in temperature just before ovulation that is used to predict a fertile window. Therefore, a rise in temperature would not indicate that it is safe to have condomless sex. The patient should be educated that the temperature shift indicates the end of the fertile window and that it is safest to avoid unprotected sex during the fertile window.
