Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client at 39 weeks' gestation in active labor. The fetal monitor shows late decelerations. What is the priority nursing action?

Question 3 of 5
A patient had unprotected sex yesterday. She is interested in emergency contraception. The nurse knows that the patient has how long to take the medication for it to be effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Emergency contraception is most effective if taken within 3 days after unprotected sex. The sooner it is taken, the more effective it is. Choice A and B are incorrect because they are too short a time window for emergency contraception to be effective. Choice D is also incorrect because most emergency contraceptive pills are not effective after 5 days.
Question 4 of 5
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.
Question 5 of 5
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.
