Question 1 of 5
One goal of Healthy People 2030 is to improve pregnancy planning and prevent unintended pregnancy. What is a negative outcome related to unintended pregnancy that is related to this HP goal?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: depression and anxiety. Unintended pregnancies can lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety due to the emotional, financial, and social stress associated with unplanned parenthood. This aligns with the goal of Healthy People 2030 to improve pregnancy planning. Choice A is incorrect because while lost jobs can be a consequence of unintended pregnancy, it is not directly related to the mental health aspect targeted by this HP goal. Choice C is incorrect as increased BMI and weight gain are not typically cited as negative outcomes directly related to unintended pregnancy prevention. Choice D is incorrect as while unintended pregnancies can lead to increased healthcare costs, it does not specifically address the mental health aspect targeted by the HP goal.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about terbutaline to a client who is experiencing preterm labor. Which of the following statement by client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The statement "The medication could cause me to experience heart palpitations" indicates understanding because terbutaline, a beta-agonist used to stop preterm labor, can indeed cause heart palpitations as a common side effect due to its impact on the cardiovascular system. This shows the client has grasped a potential side effect of the medication. The other choices are incorrect: B: "This medication could cause me to experience blurred vision" - Blurred vision is not a common side effect of terbutaline. C: "This medication could cause me to experience ringing in my ears" - Ringing in the ears is not a common side effect of terbutaline. D: "This medication could cause me to experience frequent " - Incomplete statement, not indicating understanding of a specific side effect.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is developing an educational program about hemolytic diseases in newborns for a group of newly licensed nurses. Which of the following genetic information should the nurse include in the program as a cause of hemolytic disease?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The mother is Rh negative, and the father is Rh positive. This combination can lead to hemolytic disease in newborns due to Rh incompatibility. If the mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive, there is a chance that the fetus may inherit the Rh-positive factor from the father, causing the mother's immune system to produce antibodies against the Rh factor in subsequent pregnancies, potentially leading to hemolytic disease in newborns. Incorrect choices: A: The mother is Rh positive, and the father is Rh negative - This combination does not result in Rh incompatibility as the fetus will not inherit the Rh-negative factor from the father. C: The mother and the father are both Rh positive - Rh incompatibility occurs when the mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive, so this choice is incorrect. D: The mother and the father are both Rh negative - In this case, there is no Rh incompatibility present,
Question 4 of 5
A nurse on a labor and delivery unit is receiving infection control standards with a newly licensed nurse. The nurse should instruct the newly licensed nurse to don gloves for which of the following procedures?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Performing umbilical cord care. Gloves should be worn during this procedure to prevent the spread of infection. The umbilical cord stump is a potential entry point for bacteria, so gloves are necessary to maintain asepsis. A: Assisting a mother with breastfeeding does not require gloves as it is a clean procedure. B: Performing a newborn's initial bath does not require gloves unless there are open wounds on the newborn. C: Administering the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine may require gloves, but the primary concern is needlestick safety rather than infection control through glove use.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client who has preeclampsia and is receiving magnesium sulfate by continuous IV infusion. Which of the following findings should the nurse reports to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Blood pressure 148/94mm Hg. High blood pressure in a client with preeclampsia indicates worsening condition and potential for eclampsia. Magnesium sulfate is given to prevent seizures, so high blood pressure needs immediate provider attention. Incorrect Choices: B: Respiratory rate 14mm - This respiratory rate is within normal range. C: Urinary output 20 mL/hr - Low urinary output should be monitored but is not the priority in this situation. D: 2+deep tendon reflexes - Normal deep tendon reflexes are expected with magnesium sulfate therapy.
