Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Shortness of breath is a potential danger sign that should be reported to the healthcare provider when taking oral contraceptives. It could indicate a serious side effect such as a blood clot in the lungs, also known as a pulmonary embolism, which can be a life-threatening condition. Therefore, it is important for the client to seek medical attention immediately if they experience sudden shortness of breath while on oral contraceptives. Reduced menstrual flow, breast tenderness, and headaches are common side effects of oral contraceptives and are not usually considered danger signs that require immediate medical attention.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is in labor and has an external fetal monitor. The nurse observes late decelerations on the monitor strip and interprets them as indicating which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Late decelerations on the fetal monitor strip indicate uteroplacental insufficiency. These decelerations occur after the peak of a contraction, and the fetus may not receive enough oxygen-rich blood during contractions. Uteroplacental insufficiency can lead to fetal hypoxia and acidosis if not addressed promptly. It is important for the nurse to take appropriate steps to improve fetal oxygenation, such as repositioning the mother, administering oxygen, and adjusting IV fluids. If late decelerations persist, further interventions may be necessary to ensure the well-being of the fetus.
