Question 1 of 5

During the first 8 hours postpartum, the nurse will demonstrate how to perform a fundal massage and assist with breast-feeding techniques. What other assessment is important at this time?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: assessment of vaginal bleeding. During the first 8 hours postpartum, it is crucial to monitor vaginal bleeding to assess for any signs of excessive bleeding or hemorrhage, which are common postpartum complications. This assessment helps in early detection and prompt intervention if necessary. Other choices are incorrect: A: assessment of partner changing a diaper - While involving the partner in care is beneficial, it is not a priority assessment during this crucial postpartum period. C: assessment of social support - Important for overall well-being but not as critical as monitoring vaginal bleeding for immediate postpartum complications. D: assessment of family dynamics - While family dynamics play a role in postpartum care, it is not a priority assessment in the initial 8 hours.

Question 2 of 5

Research has shown that with lesbian parents, the non-birthing person can feel role resentment, exclusion from health-care services, and feelings of neglect. How can the nurse include the non-birthing partner?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Demonstrate newborn care to both parents. This option promotes inclusivity and involvement of both parents in caring for the newborn, addressing feelings of neglect and exclusion. It allows the non-birthing partner to actively participate in the care process, fostering bonding and reducing role resentment. A: Asking the person to leave the room during the newborn assessment isolates and excludes them, exacerbating feelings of neglect. B: Educating the person to leave feeding to the birthing person further marginalizes them and does not address their emotional needs. D: Asking the person's family about their relationship does not directly involve the non-birthing partner and does not address their feelings of exclusion.
