Question 2 of 5
A nurse is evaluating the effectiveness of preconception education. Which statement by the client indicates that additional education is needed?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the statement about the husband buying a small desk for his laptop computer is irrelevant to preconception education. The focus of preconception education is on optimizing health before pregnancy, such as quitting smoking, taking prenatal vitamins, and avoiding harmful chemicals. The other choices (A, B, and D) all demonstrate an understanding of preconception health needs. Choice A shows awareness of the risks of smoking in pregnancy and a plan to quit. Choice B indicates the initiation of prenatal vitamin intake, particularly folic acid, which is crucial for preventing birth defects. Choice D highlights a proactive approach to environmental health by planning to avoid harmful chemicals in the garden.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is instructing a client on taking her basal body temperature. The nurse understands that this test is used to determine which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: If the client's temperature rises 1 to 5 days after the midcycle. Basal body temperature is used to detect ovulation, which occurs when there is a rise in temperature after the midcycle. This rise indicates that ovulation has occurred. Monitoring basal body temperature is a natural family planning method. A: Checking cervical mucus for estrogen levels is typically done to assess fertility but not related to basal body temperature. C: Basal body temperature does not provide information on the need for surgical correction of uterine pathology. D: Basal body temperature does not assess blockages in the uterine cavity or fallopian tubes.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is counseling a couple about genetic testing options. What should the nurse include in the discussion?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because genetic counseling is crucial for couples with a history of genetic disorders to assess risks and make informed decisions. It helps in understanding inheritance patterns, potential risks to offspring, and available testing options. Choice A is incorrect as genetic testing is not limited to known hereditary conditions. Choice B is incorrect as preimplantation genetic testing is done before embryo transfer. Choice D is incorrect as genetic testing can indeed assess the risk of inherited infertility through various genetic tests.
Question 5 of 5
A patient is prescribed clomiphene citrate. What should the nurse explain about this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because clomiphene citrate works by stimulating the pituitary gland to release hormones necessary for ovulation. This helps in the treatment of infertility by inducing ovulation in women who do not ovulate regularly. Option A is incorrect because clomiphene citrate is not an injectable medication. Option C is incorrect because clomiphene citrate does not suppress ovulation, but rather stimulates it. Option D is incorrect because clomiphene citrate is used for ovulation induction, not just for treating PCOS symptoms.
