Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing a postpartum person for discharge. What is the most important aspect of discharge teaching for a person who has had a cesarean section?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: teach about signs of infection. This is the most important aspect of discharge teaching for a person who has had a cesarean section because infection is a common complication post-surgery. By educating the person on signs of infection such as fever, increased pain, redness, or discharge from the incision site, they can promptly seek medical attention if needed. Ensuring proper incision care (choice A) is important but preventing infection through early detection is crucial. Providing skin-to-skin contact (choice C) is beneficial for bonding but not directly related to post-cesarean care. Assessing for bleeding (choice D) is important but typically done in a healthcare setting post-surgery.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a postpartum person who is at risk for infection. What is the most important intervention to reduce the risk of infection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A (administer antibiotics) Rationale: 1. Administering antibiotics targets potential infection-causing pathogens directly. 2. Antibiotics help prevent the spread of infection within the body. 3. Prophylactic antibiotics are commonly used postpartum for high-risk individuals. 4. This intervention directly addresses the root cause of infection risk. Summary: B: Applying a sterile dressing is important for wound care but doesn't target systemic infection risk. C: Performing a vaginal exam can introduce pathogens and increase infection risk. D: Administering pain relief is important for comfort but doesn't directly reduce infection risk.
