Postpartum Hormonal Changes Questions
Question 1 of 5
Research has shown what intervention increases involvement of the adolescent partner postpartum?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: involvement of the partner during the prenatal period. This intervention increases the involvement of the adolescent partner postpartum by fostering a sense of responsibility, connection, and support early on in the pregnancy. By actively engaging the partner in prenatal care and decision-making processes, they are more likely to feel invested in the pregnancy and the well-being of the newborn. This involvement also promotes better communication and shared responsibilities between the partners, leading to a smoother transition into parenthood. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: B: Involvement of parents in decision making may be beneficial but does not directly address the involvement of the adolescent partner postpartum. C: Restricting people in the labor room does not promote partner involvement postpartum and may hinder support networks. D: Providing newborn care in the nursery may be helpful for short-term respite but does not enhance the involvement of the partner postpartum.
Question 2 of 5
What information about pain medication should postpartum discharge instructions include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because narcotic medications commonly cause constipation, a common side effect that postpartum patients should be aware of. It is important to include this information in discharge instructions to ensure patient safety and comfort. Choice B is incorrect because the discontinuation of iron supplements should be discussed with a healthcare provider, not automatically stopped after birth. Choice C is incorrect because some NSAIDs are safe to take while breastfeeding, and this blanket statement may not apply to all medications in this category. Choice D is incorrect because acetaminophen is generally considered safe for postpartum pain relief and should not be avoided without medical guidance.
