Question 3 of 5

The nurse received end of shift report in a high-risk maternity unit. Which patient should the nurse see first?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The patient who should be seen first is the 35 weeks' gestation with grade I abruptio placenta in labor who has a strong urge to push. Abruptio placenta is a serious condition where the placenta detaches from the uterine wall before delivery, leading to significant bleeding and potential compromise to both the mother and baby. The strong urge to push indicates that the baby is in distress and immediate intervention is required to prevent potential harm. This patient needs urgent assessment and intervention to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby.

Question 4 of 5

What is contraceptive abstinence?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Contraceptive abstinence refers to avoiding penis-in-vagina intercourse to prevent pregnancy. It is a method of birth control where sexual partners choose not to engage in sexual intercourse during fertile periods to avoid the risk of pregnancy. This method relies on refraining from penetrative sex or any ejaculatory contact between the penis and vagina. It is a natural form of birth control and does not involve the use of contraceptives or devices.
