Current Issues in Maternal Newborn Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is arranging education for the menopausal support group regarding the approaches to treat the symptoms. Which of the following would be components of current treatments? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: Moderate-intensity exercises are recommended for managing menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings by improving overall health and reducing stress. Exercise can also help with weight management and bone health. Summary: - Balanced diet with calcium (B) is important for overall health but not specific to treating menopausal symptoms. - Alternative medicine like black cohosh (C) may have limited evidence and can vary in effectiveness. - Over-the-counter sleep aids (D) may help with sleep disturbances but are not specific to managing menopausal symptoms.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is preparing a teaching plan for a polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) support group. One of the teaching points will include diet and weight loss to decrease hirsutism and acne. What is the reasoning for this rationale?
Correct Answer: E
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse at a family practice clinic is providing care to a 47-year-old obese patient. The patient states that she realizes that she has put on extra weight but is reluctant to go to any exercise classes. She states that she often has to cross her legs when she sneezes and cannot do any exercises with her legs crossed. The health care provider has prescribed tolterodine (Detrol). What is the rationale for this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Tolterodine is used to improve the tone and tissue in the urethral and vaginal areas. This medication is prescribed to treat overactive bladders and to decrease urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence. The patient's symptoms of having to cross her legs when sneezing and inability to do exercises with legs crossed indicate issues with urinary incontinence. Tolterodine works by relaxing the bladder muscles and improving bladder control, which addresses the patient's symptoms. Incorrect choices: A: Tolterodine is not an appetite suppressant and does not facilitate weight loss. C: Tolterodine does not act as an appetite suppressant, so it does not facilitate weight loss. D: Tolterodine does not improve blood flow to pelvic muscles or decrease urinary tract infections.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 25-year-old female patient when the patient becomes tearful. The patient states that she has thin milky discharge from her nipples and two small masses on her left breast. She has lost over 40 pounds in the past year due to intensive exercises and finds that she needs to wear a sports bra during her sessions. The patient states that she is afraid that she will become the first member of her family to have breast cancer. Besides a negative mammogram, what other symptoms would correlate with this being a benign finding? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Milky discharge from nipples. Milky discharge from nipples in a young female with no other concerning symptoms can be indicative of benign conditions such as hormonal imbalances or medication side effects. In this case, the patient's age, weight loss due to exercise, and negative mammogram are all factors that suggest a low likelihood of breast cancer. Extensive weight loss (choice B) is likely attributed to the intensive exercises mentioned and not directly correlated with breast cancer. Painful masses (choice C) could indicate an inflammatory or infection process but are not necessarily indicative of malignancy. Mood swings (choice D) are unrelated to the breast symptomatology described.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who has just been diagnosed with chlamydia and wants to know when she can have sex with her boyfriend again. What is the best response from the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that requires treatment for both the infected person and their partner to prevent reinfection. The recommended practice is to abstain from sex until 7 days after completing treatment to ensure the infection is fully cleared from both individuals. This approach helps to prevent the spread of the infection and reduces the risk of complications. Choice B is incorrect because simply finishing the medicine without waiting for the partner's treatment can lead to reinfection. Choice C is incorrect as it solely focuses on the partner's treatment without considering the completion of the patient's own treatment. Choice D is incorrect as it disregards the importance of completing treatment and waiting for the specified period before resuming sexual activity.
