Question 1 of 5
A patient reports to the clinic nurse that she has not had a period in over 12 weeks, she is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because scheduling the patient to be seen by a healthcare provider within the next 4 weeks is important for further evaluation and management of the patient's amenorrhea. This timeline allows for timely assessment and potential interventions if needed. Choice A is incorrect as simply having a positive urine hCG test does not provide enough information on its own to determine the appropriate nursing action. Choice B is incorrect as asking about nausea or vomiting does not address the need for a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the patient's amenorrhea. Choice D is incorrect as sending the patient to the maternity screening area assumes a pregnancy-related issue without proper evaluation and could lead to unnecessary testing or interventions.
Question 2 of 5
An expectant patient in her third trimester reports that she developed a strong tie to her baby from the beginning and now is really in tune to her baby's temperament. The nurse interprets this as the development of which maternal task of pregnancy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Developing attachment with the baby. In the scenario described, the expectant patient's strong tie and attunement to the baby's temperament indicate the development of an emotional bond or attachment with the baby. This is an essential maternal task during pregnancy as it promotes maternal-infant bonding and prepares the mother for the caregiving role postpartum. A: Learning to give of herself - While important in motherhood, this choice doesn't specifically address the emotional bond being described in the scenario. C: Securing acceptance of the baby by others - This choice focuses on external factors rather than the maternal relationship with the baby. D: Seeking safe passage for herself and her baby - This choice pertains more to physical safety and well-being rather than the emotional connection between the mother and the baby.
Question 3 of 5
A 36-year-old divorcee with a successful modeling career finds out that her 18-year-old daughter is expecting her first child. Which is a major factor in determining how this woman will respond to becoming a grandmother?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, the age of the daughter. The major factor in how the woman will respond as a grandmother is the age of her daughter because it directly impacts the circumstances and challenges the daughter may face as a young mother. The woman's age (choice A) and career (choice B) may influence her perspective and ability to support her daughter, but the daughter's age is the primary determinant. Being divorced (choice C) may also play a role in the woman's response, but it is not as significant as the daughter's age in this scenario.

Question 5 of 5
A pregnant patient comes into the medical clinic stating that her family and friends are telling her that she is always talking about the pregnancy and nothing else. She is concerned that something is wrong with her. What psychological behavior is she exhibiting?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Uncertainty. The patient is exhibiting psychological behavior characterized by doubt and indecision regarding her pregnancy. This is evident by her concern and the feedback she is receiving from her family and friends. A: Antepartum obsession is not the correct choice as the patient is not displaying an obsessive preoccupation with her pregnancy. B: Ambivalence is not the correct choice as it refers to conflicting feelings or thoughts, which are not explicitly mentioned in the scenario. C: Uncertainty is essentially the same as choice D, which is the correct answer. In summary, the patient's behavior aligns with uncertainty as she is expressing doubt and worry about her excessive focus on her pregnancy.
