Question 1 of 5
Mother asks the nurse for advice about discipline. The nurse would suggest that the mother first use...
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this scenario, the correct answer is A) Structured interaction. This approach promotes positive parent-child communication and encourages a nurturing and supportive environment for discipline. By choosing structured interaction, the mother can establish clear expectations, set limits, and provide guidance to her child effectively. Option B) Spanking is not recommended as a disciplinary method for children. Research has shown that spanking can lead to negative outcomes, such as increased aggression and behavior problems in children. It does not promote a healthy parent-child relationship or teach appropriate behavior. Option C) Reasoning is a valuable approach to discipline, but it may not always be effective with young children who are still developing their cognitive abilities. While reasoning can help children understand the consequences of their actions, it may not be the first step in establishing discipline for very young children. Option D) Scolding focuses on reprimanding the child for their behavior without providing guidance or teaching alternatives. This approach can lead to feelings of shame and inadequacy in the child, rather than promoting positive behavior change. In an educational context, it is crucial for nurses to provide evidence-based advice on positive discipline techniques to parents. Encouraging structured interaction helps parents build a strong foundation for effective discipline strategies that promote a healthy parent-child relationship and foster positive child development. By understanding the impact of different disciplinary approaches, nurses can support parents in creating a nurturing environment that enhances their child's well-being.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following fears would the nurse typically associate with toddlerhood?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In pediatric nursing, understanding developmental stages is crucial for providing effective care. Toddlers, typically aged 1-3 years, commonly experience separation anxiety and fear of abandonment. The fear of going to sleep, option D, is associated with this developmental stage as bedtime signifies a temporary separation from caregivers. Toddlers may resist sleep due to fear of being alone. Option A, mutilation, is more commonly associated with preschool-aged children who are beginning to understand the concept of bodily harm. Option B, the dark, and option C, ghosts, are more aligned with fears seen in older children who have more developed imaginations and cognitive abilities to grasp abstract concepts. Educationally, this question highlights the importance of recognizing age-appropriate fears in pediatric patients to provide holistic care. Understanding developmental stages can help nurses anticipate and address fears, ultimately enhancing the quality of care provided to pediatric patients.
Question 3 of 5
A pregnant patient asks when the dark line on her abdomen (linea nigra) will go away. The nurse knows the pigmentation will fade after birth due to
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Melanocyte-stimulating hormone increases during pregnancy and is responsible for changes in skin pigmentation; the amount decreases after birth. Estrogen levels decrease after birth. Progesterone levels decrease after birth. Human placental lactogen production continues to aid in lactation. However, it does not affect pigmentation.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a postpartum patient who delivered by the vaginal route 12 hours ago. Which assessment finding should the nurse report to the health care provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The health care provider must be notified so that lacerations can be located and repaired. Bradycardia, defined as a pulse rate of 40 to 50 beats per minute (bpm), may occur as the large amount of blood that returns to the central circulation after birth of the placenta. A temperature of up to 38°C (100.4°F) is common during the first 24 hours after childbirth and may be caused by dehydration or normal postpartum leukocytosis. The resulting engorgement of abdominal blood vessels contributes to a rapid fall in BP of 15 to 20 mm Hg systolic when the woman moves from a recumbent to a sitting position. This change causes mothers to feel dizzy or lightheaded or to faint when they stand.
Question 5 of 5
The postpartum patient who continually repeats the story of her labor, birth, and recovery experiences is performing which of the following tasks?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reliving the birth experience makes the event real and helps the mother realize that the pregnancy is over and that the infant is born and is now a separate individual. She is in the taking-in phase, trying to make the birth experience seem real. This is to satisfy her needs, not the needs of others.
