Question 1 of 5

A woman who is undergoing infertility testing states, "My husband won't discuss this with me. I don't think he cares about or wants a baby." The nurse's ideal response is

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it acknowledges the husband's potential difficulty in expressing his feelings, validating the woman's concerns while also offering empathy. It is important to recognize that discussing infertility can be emotionally challenging for both partners, and the response shows understanding and support. Choice A is incorrect as it suggests confrontation, which may escalate the situation and lead to further communication breakdown. Choice B implies a lack of understanding on the husband's part, which may not be the case. Choice C is a generalization and may not address the specific dynamics of this couple's situation.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is providing care to a client in labor. A pelvic exam reveals a vertex presentation with the presenting part tilted toward the left side of the mother's pelvis and directed toward the anterior portion of the pelvis. When developing this client's plan of care, which intervention would the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The fetal presentation and position is left occiput anterior position or LOA, which is the most common and most favorable fetal position for birth. LOA along with right occiput anterior position are optimal positions for vaginal birth. Therefore the nurse should implement measures for a vaginal birth. This fetal presentation is not an indication for cesarean birth. Nor is there need for artificially rupturing the membranes. Continuous internal fetal monitoring would be warranted if the woman or fetus was considered to be high risk.
