Question 3 of 5
What STIs can cause one of the TORCH infections in the fetus?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Syphilis is one of the STIs that can cause one of the TORCH infections in a fetus. TORCH infections are a group of infections that can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus and include toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, and syphilis. When a pregnant woman with untreated syphilis transmits the infection to her fetus, it can result in congenital syphilis, which can have serious consequences such as stillbirth, prematurity, low birth weight, and developmental delays. Syphilis is thus an important infectious cause of prenatal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Question 4 of 5
Which nursing intervention is written correctly?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct nursing intervention that is written correctly is option D. The intervention "Assist to ambulate for 10 minutes at 8 AM, 2 PM, and 6 PM" is clear, specific, and provides a specific time frame for the activity. It is important in nursing documentation to be precise and clearly state the details of the intervention to ensure effective communication among healthcare team members. This intervention also specifies the frequency and duration of the ambulation activity, which helps in ensuring continuity of care and proper execution of the intervention for the patient.
Question 5 of 5
Which nursing intervention is an independent function of the professional nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Administering oral analgesics is an independent function of the professional nurse. Independent nursing interventions are those that a nurse is licensed to initiate based on their knowledge and skills without needing an order from a healthcare provider. Nurses are educated and trained in medication administration, including oral analgesics, and can independently assess the need for and safely administer them within their scope of practice. While requesting diagnostic studies, teaching perineal care, and providing wound care are essential nursing interventions, they typically require some form of healthcare provider's order or supervision, making them more interdependent activities.
