OB Quizlet on Contraception Abortion and Womens Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
The majority of women in one study who had had an abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy reported that they were ___ their decision to have the abortion.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B) satisfied with. In the context of abortion in the first trimester, many women report feeling satisfied with their decision. This can be attributed to factors such as personal circumstances, health considerations, or the perceived best interest of the fetus. Option A) extremely guilty of is incorrect because while some women may experience guilt post-abortion due to societal or personal beliefs, the majority in this study did not report feeling extremely guilty. Option C) unsatisfied with is incorrect as it does not align with the findings of the study which indicate that most women were satisfied with their decision. Option D) embarrassed of is incorrect as it does not reflect the emotional responses commonly reported by women post-abortion. Educationally, understanding the range of emotions and experiences that women may have regarding abortion is crucial in providing non-judgmental and supportive healthcare services. It is important for healthcare providers to approach these sensitive topics with empathy, respect, and a non-biased attitude to ensure the well-being and autonomy of their patients.
Question 2 of 5
When developing a teaching plan for a couple who are considering contraception options, the nurse would include which statement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: For a contraceptive to be most effective, the client must be able to use it correctly and consistently. Even if a method is considered 100% effective, it is not the best choice if the couple does not use it correctly or consistently. Cost is a consideration, but the least expensive method is not necessarily the best choice. The need for a prescription is not relevant to the couple's choice.
Question 3 of 5
A woman is diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder. To address the woman's behavioral symptoms, which class of agents would the nurse anticipate needing to be addressed in the woman's teaching plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this scenario, the correct answer is C) Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) characterized by debilitating emotional and behavioral symptoms. SSRIs are considered first-line pharmacological treatment for PMDD due to their ability to modulate serotonin levels in the brain, which helps regulate mood and behavior. Diuretics (option A) are not indicated for PMDD as they primarily affect fluid balance and are used for conditions like hypertension or edema. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (option B) are typically used to relieve physical symptoms like pain and cramping, not the behavioral symptoms associated with PMDD. Vitamin supplements (option D) are important for overall health but do not directly address the neurotransmitter imbalances that contribute to PMDD symptoms. In an educational context, it is crucial for nurses to understand the pharmacological management of conditions like PMDD to provide optimal care to women's health issues. By knowing the appropriate classes of medications and their mechanisms of action, nurses can effectively educate patients on treatment options, potential side effects, and expected outcomes, promoting patient adherence and well-being.
Question 4 of 5
Which finding would most likely indicate a complication in a client using a copper intrauterine device (IUD)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B) Fever and chills. This indicates a complication in a client using a copper intrauterine device (IUD) because it could be a sign of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a potential serious infection associated with IUD use. PID can lead to fever, chills, abdominal pain, and other systemic symptoms. Option A) Mild menstrual cramps are a common side effect of copper IUD use and do not necessarily indicate a complication. Option C) No change in menstrual flow is also a normal finding with a copper IUD and does not suggest a complication. Option D) Occasional spotting can occur as a side effect of the copper IUD and is not typically a sign of a serious complication. Educationally, it is important for healthcare providers to recognize potential complications associated with contraceptive methods like the copper IUD to provide appropriate care and ensure patient safety. Understanding these signs and symptoms is crucial for effective patient assessment and management.
Question 5 of 5
A client who has been taking oral contraceptives consistently reports experiencing breakthrough bleeding. What action should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Breakthrough bleeding can occur when the hormonal levels in oral contraceptives are not adequate for the individual. The nurse should recommend that the client consult the health care provider for possible adjustment of the contraceptive dosage rather than switching methods or discontinuing use without guidance.
