Question 1 of 5
What is an advantage of the cervical cap over the diaphragm?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The advantage of the cervical cap over the diaphragm is that it typically has a lower failure rate in preventing pregnancy. Failure rates for contraceptive methods refer to the percentage of women who become pregnant within the first year of typical use. The cervical cap is generally associated with a lower failure rate compared to the diaphragm due to its snugger fit and ability to cover the cervix more effectively, resulting in better protection against sperm entering the uterus. This makes the cervical cap a more reliable option for women seeking effective contraception.
Question 2 of 5
A 28-year-old patient has decided to use the patch contraception. The nurse is educating her on the best site to use. Where is the best place to put the patch? Select one that does not that apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The best sites for applying the contraceptive patch are the buttocks, arm, and leg. These areas have sufficient fat and are away from areas that might rub off the patch. Choice B (Neck) is incorrect as the neck is not recommended for patch application due to the potential for irritation and the high blood flow area. Choice C (Breast) is not recommended because the breast tissue may affect the adhesion of the patch.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is planning to admit a pregnant client who is obese. Which potential client needs should the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Obese clients may need thromboembolism prevention and specialized equipment for safe cesarean handling.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is monitoring a client in active labor. What finding indicates the need for immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A fetal heart rate of 90 beats/minute is bradycardia, indicating potential fetal distress.
Question 5 of 5
Positive signs of pregnancy
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: One of the positive signs of pregnancy is the active fetal movements palpable by the examiner. This occurs when the examiner is able to feel the movements of the fetus inside the uterus. This sign usually becomes noticeable in the second half of pregnancy and is a clear indication that the pregnancy is progressing normally. It is a reassuring sign for both the pregnant individual and the healthcare provider that the fetus is active and healthy.
