Postpartum Body Changes Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse evaluates a postpartum couplet for parent-infant attachment. What finding would be concerning?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because parent-infant attachment involves emotional bonding and responsiveness. If a parent is disinterested, it may indicate a lack of bonding and potential attachment issues. Choice A is not concerning as sleepiness is common postpartum. Choice B is positive as both parents caring for the infant contributes to attachment. Choice D is also positive as family involvement can support attachment.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse educates the postpartum person on bowel discomfort. What instructions would they give?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ambulate often. After childbirth, ambulation helps stimulate bowel movements, preventing constipation. Walking helps promote peristalsis and improves overall bowel function. Choice A: Limit water intake - Incorrect. Hydration is important for bowel function and limiting water intake can worsen constipation. Choice B: Use laxatives daily - Incorrect. Daily use of laxatives can lead to dependence and disrupt natural bowel function. Choice D: Avoid stool softeners - Incorrect. Stool softeners can be beneficial in preventing constipation and should not be avoided without medical advice.
Question 3 of 5
Research has shown that with lesbian parents, the non-birthing person can feel role resentment, exclusion from health-care services, and feelings of neglect. How can the nurse include the non-birthing partner?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Demonstrate newborn care to both parents. This option promotes inclusivity and involvement of both parents in caring for the newborn, addressing feelings of neglect and exclusion. It allows the non-birthing partner to actively participate in the care process, fostering bonding and reducing role resentment. A: Asking the person to leave the room during the newborn assessment isolates and excludes them, exacerbating feelings of neglect. B: Educating the person to leave feeding to the birthing person further marginalizes them and does not address their emotional needs. D: Asking the person's family about their relationship does not directly involve the non-birthing partner and does not address their feelings of exclusion.
