Question 1 of 5
What is contraceptive abstinence?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Contraceptive abstinence refers to avoiding penis-in-vagina intercourse to prevent pregnancy. It is a method of birth control where sexual partners choose not to engage in sexual intercourse during fertile periods to avoid the risk of pregnancy. This method relies on refraining from penetrative sex or any ejaculatory contact between the penis and vagina. It is a natural form of birth control and does not involve the use of contraceptives or devices.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse midwife is examining a client who is a primigravida at 42 weeks of gestation and states that she believes she is in labor. Which of the following findings confirm to the nurse that the client is in labor
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cervical dilation is a key physiological change that confirms labor has begun. During the late stages of pregnancy, the cervix starts to soften, thin out (efface), and open up (dilate) in preparation for childbirth. Therefore, cervical dilation is a critical finding that indicates the onset of labor. Pain above the umbilicus, brownish vaginal discharge, and amniotic fluid in the vaginal vault are not definitive signs of labor and do not confirm the initiation of the labor process.
