Question 1 of 5
A young girl comes to the OB-GYN office to begin contraception. What is the most important information the nurse should find in the history before starting a contraceptive?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Do your cramps prevent you from daily activities?" This question is crucial as it assesses the impact of menstrual cramps on the girl's quality of life, helping determine the suitability of different contraceptive options. Options B, C, and D are irrelevant to contraceptive choice and do not provide pertinent information regarding the girl's health or contraceptive needs.
Question 2 of 5
Why would FAM not be appropriate for the nurse to recommend to a perimenopausal person?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because perimenopausal individuals often have irregular menstrual periods, making FAM less reliable for tracking ovulation. Irregular periods can make it challenging to accurately predict fertile days. Choice A is incorrect because FAM is not solely for contraception but also for fertility awareness. Choice B is incorrect as FAM can still be used for tracking fertility even if contraception is not needed. Choice D is incorrect because while pregnancy risk decreases during perimenopause, it is not zero, and FAM can still be helpful for those who wish to avoid pregnancy.
Question 3 of 5
What is one difference between the copper IUC and the LNG-IUC?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: placement in the uterus. The copper IUC and LNG-IUC differ in where they are positioned in the uterus. The copper IUC is a T-shaped device placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy through copper ions, while the LNG-IUC releases hormones and is also placed in the uterus but is a different shape, typically a smaller T or a rounded shape. The placement of the device is crucial for its effectiveness and type of hormone release. Other choices (A) efficacy, (C) presence of a normal period, and (D) shape, do not directly differentiate between the two types of IUCs.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching about clomiphene citrate to a client who is experiencing infertility. Which of the following adverse effect should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Breast Tenderness. Clomiphene citrate is a medication commonly used to induce ovulation in women experiencing infertility. Breast tenderness is a common adverse effect due to the hormonal changes caused by the medication. Tinnitus (A), urinary frequency (B), and chills (D) are not typically associated with clomiphene citrate use. Tinnitus is more commonly associated with ototoxic medications, urinary frequency may be seen with diuretics, and chills are usually a symptom of infections or fevers.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is receiving oxytocin by continuous IV infusion for labor induction. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Titrate the infusion rate by 4 milliunits/min. This is the appropriate intervention because oxytocin is a potent uterotonic agent used for labor induction. By titrating the infusion rate by 4 milliunits/min, the nurse can closely monitor and adjust the dose to achieve the desired uterine contractions without causing hyperstimulation. Increasing the infusion rate every 30 to 60 min (A) can lead to rapid and uncontrolled contractions. Maintaining the client in a supine position (B) can decrease blood flow to the placenta. Limiting IV intake to 4 L per 24 hr (D) is not necessary and may lead to dehydration.
