Question 2 of 9
The nurse is caring for a G5 in labor. The membrane
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most important nursing action to undertake at this time is obtaining a fetal heart rate (FHR) assessment. Monitoring the FHR is crucial during labor to assess the well-being of the baby and detect any signs of fetal distress. This information helps guide the healthcare team in determining the appropriate course of action to ensure the safety of both the mother and baby. It takes precedence over other tasks such as completing a sterile vaginal exam, assessing the odor of amniotic fluid, performing Leopold's maneuver, or obtaining pain medication orders. Monitoring the FHR should be the immediate priority in this situation.

Question 4 of 9
What education does the nurse provide to a person taking Ella for emergency contraception?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The education the nurse should provide to a person taking Ella for emergency contraception is to restart their COCs the next day and use a backup method, such as condoms, for 7 days. This is important to ensure continued protection against pregnancy, as Ella may potentially reduce the effectiveness of the COCs. Using a backup method during this time is essential to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Question 5 of 9
A patient asks the nurse about using the basal body temperature method as contraception. What statement made by the patient indicates that the patient needs further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B is the statement made by the patient that indicates the need for further teaching. In the basal body temperature method of contraception, a sustained temperature rise typically indicates ovulation has already occurred, making it unsafe to have condomless sex. It is the drop in temperature just before ovulation that is used to predict a fertile window. Therefore, a rise in temperature would not indicate that it is safe to have condomless sex. The patient should be educated that the temperature shift indicates the end of the fertile window and that it is safest to avoid unprotected sex during the fertile window.

Question 9 of 9
A patient has just had a Mirena IUD inserted. What is the most important information for the nurse to include in the post-procedure instructions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The patient should be instructed to check the strings of the IUD regularly to ensure it remains in place. Choice A is not accurate because while cramping is common, rest is not necessarily required for several days. Choice C is not required; there is no need to avoid sexual activity unless there is an infection or other complication. Choice D is incorrect as Mirena typically reduces bleeding or makes periods lighter.
