Question 1 of 5
The patient during labor would anticipate some emotional support. Which of the following nursing interventions should Nurse Sarah provide to keep the patient calm?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Support in maintaining a sense of control is essential in keeping the patient calm during labor. Giving the patient a sense of control allows them to feel empowered and more in charge of their experience. This can help reduce anxiety and fear, ultimately promoting a more positive and calm labor experience. Providing emotional support by assisting the patient in maintaining control can greatly benefit their overall emotional well-being during this stressful time.
Question 2 of 5
The NICU nurse prepares for the arrival of the newborn. Which of the following PRIORITY item should be placed at the newborn's bedside? A _____________.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The priority item that should be placed at the newborn's bedside is a blood pressure cuff. Monitoring the newborn's blood pressure is crucial in the NICU, as it helps assess the baby's cardiovascular function and overall well-being. Blood pressure changes can be an early indication of potential health issues, so having a blood pressure cuff readily available allows for timely monitoring and intervention if necessary. The other items listed (specific gravity urinometer, rectal thermometer, bottle of sterile normal saline) are also important in neonatal care, but monitoring blood pressure takes precedence in this scenario.
Question 3 of 5
In admitting the injured patients, which of the following should be the FIRST that should be done by the emergency team? They should assess the patients ________.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Assessing the patient's airway is the first priority when admitting injured patients. A clear airway is crucial for effective breathing. If the airway is obstructed, the patient will not be able to breathe properly, leading to serious consequences. Therefore, ensuring a patent airway takes precedence over assessing breathing, circulation, or vital signs. Once the airway is secured, the emergency team can proceed with assessing breathing, circulation, and vital signs in order to provide appropriate treatment and care.
Question 4 of 5
The toddlers years are a time of great cognitive, emotional and social development. The toddles is a child _______ months old.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Toddlers are typically children who are 1 to 3 years old. In this context, the toddlers are children in the age range of 9 to 36 months old. This period is marked by significant cognitive, emotional, and social development as children in this age group start to explore their environments, develop their language skills, begin to understand emotions, and interact with others. It is a crucial stage in a child's development where they start becoming more independent and forming their own identities.
Question 5 of 5
As part of the teaching plan, Nurse Angie teaches that oral contraceptives contains estrogen. Which of the following is the Action of Estrogen? It inhibits the _______.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Estrogen exerts negative feedback on the hypothalamus by inhibiting the release of GnRH (Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone). GnRH plays a crucial role in the regulation of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) production from the pituitary gland. By inhibiting the release of GnRH, estrogen ultimately leads to a decrease in FSH and LH levels. This process helps to suppress the maturation of the egg and ovulation, providing contraceptive effects.
