NCLEX Pediatric Respiratory Nursing Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse includes the addition of ice sitz baths for the postpartum patient. Which assessment finding indicates the treatment has been effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sitz baths may be offered two to four times a day to women with episiotomies, painful hemorrhoids, or perineal edema. Sitz baths provide continuous circulation of water and cleanse and comfort the traumatized perineum. Cool water reduces pain caused by edema and may be most effective within the first 24 hours. Ice can be added to cool the water to a comfortable level as the woman sits in it. Approximation of the edges of a wound facilitates wound healing. The purpose of the cold sitz bath is to decrease the edema secondary to tissue trauma.

Question 3 of 5
Which measure may prevent mastitis in a breastfeeding patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Early and frequent feedings prevent milk stasis, engorgement, and mastitis by ensuring proper milk flow and emptying of the breast. Nursing for only 5 minutes may not fully empty the breast, leading to stasis. Tight bras can constrict milk flow, and ice packs before feeding can decrease milk production. Frequent feedings are key to preventing mastitis in breastfeeding patients.

Question 5 of 5
To prevent infection of the reproductive tract, the nurse should instruct the patient to
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Instructing the patient to cleanse the perineum from front to back helps prevent infection of the reproductive tract by avoiding introduction of infection from the anal area. Changing the peripad once per shift and performing pericare twice in a shift are incorrect as hygiene measures should be done at every voiding or bowel elimination. Increasing fluid intake does not directly prevent infection of the reproductive tract.
