Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most important information to know before administering a vaccination is whether the child has any contraindications or precautions to receiving the vaccine. As a healthcare provider, it is essential to assess the child's medical history, including allergies, previous adverse reactions to vaccines, current health status, and any recent treatments or medications that could interfere with the vaccine's effectiveness or pose a risk. By understanding this information, the nurse can ensure the safe and appropriate administration of the vaccine and help prevent any potential negative outcomes for the child.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse, working with a preconceptional couple at an infertility clinic, advises the woman to take which supplement for at least 3 months before becoming pregnant?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse is advising the woman to take folic acid for at least 3 months before becoming pregnant. Folic acid is a B vitamin that is crucial for the healthy development of the baby's neural tube, which eventually becomes the brain and spinal cord. Adequate folic acid intake before pregnancy and during early pregnancy can significantly reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the baby. Therefore, it is recommended for women to start taking folic acid supplements or consume foods rich in folic acid before conception to ensure optimal levels are present in the body when the baby's neural tube is forming.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse working in labor and delivery is reviewing messages to be returned to patients. Which statement made by the patient would the nurse respond to first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should respond first to the patient who is 8 weeks pregnant and taking folic acid, asking whether it would hurt them or the baby if they stop. This is a crucial question regarding the continuation of folic acid supplementation in early pregnancy, which is vital for the prevention of neural tube defects in the developing fetus. It is important for the nurse to provide accurate information and guidance on the importance of folic acid supplementation during pregnancy.
Question 4 of 5
A patient is to receive 10 mg nalbuphine by slow intravenous push for pain relief during labor. During which phase of uterine contractions would the nurse plan to administer nalbuphine?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should plan to administer the nalbuphine between uterine contractions. This timing allows for optimal pain relief and minimizes the risk of impacting the contraction itself. Nalbuphine can affect the strength and duration of contractions, so administering it between contractions helps to avoid potential interference with the labor progress. This approach ensures that the medication is appropriately timed to provide pain relief without interfering with the natural process of labor.

Citric acid/sodium citrate is commonly used as an antacid to help neutralize excess stomach acid and provide relief from conditions such as indigestion or heartburn. By understanding that the drug helps neutralize stomach contents, the patient shows understanding of its purpose and how it can alleviate symptoms related to excess acidity in the stomach. This response demonstrates that the patient has comprehended the intended therapeutic effect of the antacid medication.
