VATI Maternal Newborn Assessment Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse provides education regarding female sterilization. What important information is provided?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The important information provided regarding female sterilization is that tubal ligation, which is a form of female sterilization, is generally considered irreversible. This means that it is a permanent method of contraception and should not be relied upon as a temporary solution. It is important for individuals considering this procedure to understand that it is meant to be permanent and should be approached as such. If there is any consideration for future fertility, alternative contraceptive options should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer methylergonovine 0.2 mg orally to a client who is 2 hr. postpartum and has a boggy uterus. For which of the following assessment findings should the nurse withhold the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Methylergonovine is a medication used to help contract the uterus and control postpartum hemorrhage. One of its side effects is vasoconstriction, which can lead to increased blood pressure. The client's blood pressure of 142/92 mm Hg is elevated, and administering methylergonovine could further increase the blood pressure, potentially causing harm to the client. It is important to withhold the medication in this situation to prevent worsening of hypertension. The other assessment findings are within normal ranges and do not contraindicate the administration of methylergonovine.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is planning to teach a group of clients who are about breastfeeding after returning to work. Which of the following infection should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct information for breastfeeding after returning to work is that thawed breast milk that is unused should not be refrozen. Once breast milk has been thawed, it should be used within 24 hours and should not be refrozen. This is important to prevent contamination and maintain the quality of the breast milk for the baby. The other statements provided in the options are correct guidelines regarding the storage of breast milk. Thawed breast milk can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, breast milk can be stored in a deep freezer for up to 12 months, and breast milk can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 hours.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse on a labor and delivery unit is providing teaching to a client who plans to use hypnosis to control labor pain. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct information that the nurse should include is that "Hypnosis can be beneficial if you practiced it during the prenatal period." This statement is true because hypnosis is a tool that can help individuals manage pain and stress through focused attention and suggestion. By practicing hypnosis techniques during the prenatal period, the individual can become more familiar and comfortable with the practice, making it more effective during labor. It is important to establish a routine and practice hypnosis consistently to maximize its benefits during labor.
