Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A respiratory rate of 70/min in a newborn is above the expected range and may indicate respiratory distress, which should be reported to the provider. Choice B, vernix caseosa covering the skin, is a normal finding in newborns and does not require reporting. Choice C, milia on the bridge of the nose, is also a common finding in newborns and does not require immediate reporting. Choice D, acrocyanosis of the extremities, is a common finding within the first few hours of life in newborns and typically resolves on its own, so it does not need to be reported.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. During a glucose tolerance test, the client is required to drink a glucose solution, and blood samples are taken at specific intervals, typically over a period of 1 to 3 hours. In this case, the nurse should inform the client to expect the test to take about 1 hour. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because there is no specific instruction to eat a low-carbohydrate diet for 3 days before the test, fast for 12 hours before the test, or limit fluid intake to water before the test in a standard glucose tolerance test.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Initiate phototherapy. Phototherapy is the primary treatment for a newborn with hyperbilirubinemia, as it helps to break down excess bilirubin in the skin. Administering glucose water (choice A) is not indicated for treating hyperbilirubinemia. Feeding the newborn formula (choice B) or offering sterile water (choice C) will not directly address the elevated bilirubin levels in the newborn.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct statement to include in the teaching is to apply a cold pack to the perineal area for the first 24 hours. This helps reduce swelling and promote comfort, aiding in the healing process after an episiotomy. Option A is incorrect as it does not provide specific guidance on managing postpartum recovery. Option C is incorrect because using a sitz bath once per week may not be frequent enough for proper wound care. Option D is incorrect because beginning Kegel exercises immediately after delivery can put excessive strain on the perineal area, potentially hindering healing.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Headache. Methylergonovine can cause vasoconstriction, leading to headaches. It is important for the client to report this adverse effect to the provider as it may indicate a serious complication. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because methylergonovine is not typically associated with diarrhea, nausea, or increased vaginal bleeding as common adverse effects.
