Question 1 of 5
A woman had a miscarriage at 12 weeks' gestation and had D&C,
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because the priority in nursing care after a miscarriage and D&C is to assess the woman's physical and emotional well-being. By using the nursing intervention of assessment first, the nurse can determine any immediate needs for pain management, emotional support, or further medical intervention. This helps in providing individualized care and addressing any potential complications promptly. Choice A is incorrect because assessing her response to loss comes after ensuring her immediate physical and emotional needs are met. Choice C is incorrect as it focuses on material items rather than the woman's well-being. Choice D is incomplete and does not provide a viable option for nursing intervention.
Question 2 of 5
A patient vaginally delivered an infant at 4750 g moderate shoulder dystocia occurred during the birth. During the initial assessment of the infant the nurse should look for
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Bradycardia. During shoulder dystocia, the infant may experience umbilical cord compression leading to decreased oxygen supply and potential bradycardia. Bradycardia is a critical sign that requires immediate attention. Erb's palsy (A) is a brachial plexus injury due to shoulder dystocia, not an immediate concern. Bell palsy (B) is a facial nerve paralysis unrelated to birth trauma. Petechiae (D) are small red or purple spots that may indicate bleeding disorders but are not specific to shoulder dystocia.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse understands vitamin k is for?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because vitamin K is responsible for the breakdown of bilirubin in the liver, which helps prevent jaundice in newborns. Bilirubin is a product of the breakdown of old red blood cells, and vitamin K plays a crucial role in this process. Choice A is incorrect as sterile bowel does not affect vitamin K synthesis. Choice B is incorrect because platelet production is not directly related to vitamin K. Choice C is incorrect as red blood cell production is mainly regulated by other nutrients like iron, vitamin B12, and folate, not vitamin K.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching the postpartum client about newborn transitional stool. Which should the nurse include in the teaching session? SATA
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because transitional stools in newborns typically have a greenish-brown color due to the presence of meconium and the changing composition of the stool as the baby starts digesting breastmilk or formula. Rationale: 1. A: Greenish-brown color is characteristic of transitional stools as meconium is being passed out. Incorrect answers: 2. B: Transitional stools are not necessarily looser in consistency. 3. C: Transitional stools are not typically described as seedy with a sweet-sour smell. 4. D: Tar-like consistency is more indicative of meconium, not transitional stools.
Question 5 of 5
What hormone is responsible for the development and maturation of the ovarian follicles?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is responsible for the development and maturation of ovarian follicles by stimulating them to grow and produce estrogen. FSH plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and acts on the ovaries to promote follicular development. LH surge triggers ovulation, estrogen is produced by the developing follicles and progesterone is primarily produced after ovulation by the corpus luteum. Therefore, A is correct as it directly influences the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles.
