Question 1 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 2 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.
Question 4 of 5
It is mandatory to have maternal signed consent before administering which newborn drug?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Maternal signed consent is mandatory before administering phytonadione (Vitamin K) to newborns. This is because Vitamin K is a medication that can prevent bleeding disorders in infants, and some parents may have concerns about the administration of medications to their newborns. It is crucial to ensure that parents are informed about the purpose and potential risks or benefits of Vitamin K administration before it is given to their newborn. Erythromycin eye ointment is typically administered to newborns to prevent eye infections, and parental consent may be needed but it is not mandatory in the same way as Vitamin K.
