Question 1 of 5
Nurse Adalynn discusses the possibilities of future postpartum hemorrhage with the patients. Which of the following increases the absorption of vitamin K?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fats are essential for the absorption of vitamin K in the body. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it is better absorbed in the presence of dietary fats. In the case of postpartum hemorrhage, adequate levels of vitamin K are crucial for proper blood clotting. Thus, incorporating fats in the diet can help ensure sufficient absorption of vitamin K, which can be beneficial in preventing complications related to hemorrhage.
Question 2 of 5
If transient discoloration of Baby Sharon's skin is noted while under phototherapy, what is this phenomenon called?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bronze baby syndrome is the term used to describe the transient discoloration of a baby's skin while undergoing phototherapy treatment for jaundice. This phenomenon typically occurs in preterm infants and is believed to be caused by the breakdown of bilirubin into colored pigments during phototherapy. The discoloration can range from a bronze or brownish color to a grayish-green hue. One key characteristic of bronze baby syndrome is that the discoloration is reversible once phototherapy is complete and does not indicate any underlying health concerns. It is important for healthcare providers to be aware of this phenomenon to avoid unnecessary interventions or alarm to the caregivers.

Question 5 of 5
On the first postpartum day, a primiparous patient complains of perineal pain that was unrelieved by Ibuprofen 400 mg given two hours ago. Nurse Kayla should assess for which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In a primiparous patient who complains of unrelieved perineal pain on the first postpartum day, Nurse Kayla should assess for a perineal hematoma. A perineal hematoma is a collection of blood in the perineal tissues and can cause significant pain and discomfort. It can be a result of trauma during delivery or due to a blood vessel rupture. This condition requires prompt assessment and intervention to prevent complications such as infection or excessive bleeding. Vaginal laceration would typically be identified during the delivery process and would have been repaired by the healthcare provider. History of drug abuse, while important to know for overall patient care, is not as relevant in this immediate postpartum pain assessment. Puerperal infection usually presents with other signs such as fever, foul-smelling discharge, and uterine tenderness, which are not mentioned in this scenario.
