Question 1 of 5
What is the priority nursing care associated with oxytocin infusion?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because monitoring uterine response is crucial when administering oxytocin infusion to prevent uterine hyperstimulation and rupture. This involves assessing contraction frequency, duration, and strength. Measuring urinary output (choice C) is important for overall fluid balance but not directly related to oxytocin infusion. Checking cervical dilation (choice D) is not a priority when administering oxytocin. Choice B is incomplete.
Question 2 of 5
Induction of labor is planned for 31-year-old primigravida 39 weeks. She has insulin dependent diabetes. Which nursing action is more important?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Begin Pitocin 4h after Cytotec. This is the most important nursing action because it follows the recommended protocol for inducing labor in a diabetic patient. Cytotec is used to thin the cervix, and waiting 4 hours before starting Pitocin reduces the risk of uterine hyperstimulation, which can be dangerous for the mother and baby. Administering Cytotec every 2 hours (choice B) can increase the risk of hyperstimulation. Placing vaginal gel and ambulating the patient (choice C) may not be appropriate in this case as the patient has diabetes. Preparing to induce labor after administering a tap water enema (choice D) is not a priority compared to ensuring a safe induction process for a diabetic patient.
Question 3 of 5
After being in labor several hours with no progress the patient diagnosed with CPD and must have a c/s. the patient is worried that she will not be able to have any future children vaginally. After sharing this info with her care provider, the nurse would anticipate should would receive what type of incision?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Vertical incision. In cases of CPD (cephalopelvic disproportion) where labor is not progressing and a cesarean section is necessary, a vertical incision is typically performed. This type of incision allows for better access to the uterus and is preferred in emergency situations like CPD. A transverse incision (choice A) is commonly used in elective c-sections but may not provide enough access in cases of CPD. Low vertical (choice C) is not ideal for CPD as it limits visibility and access. Pfannenstiel incision (choice D) is a horizontal incision placed low on the abdomen and is typically used in elective c-sections, not specifically for CPD cases.
Question 4 of 5
A meconium stool can be differentiated from a transitional stool in the newborn because the meconium stool is
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because meconium stool is typically passed within the first 12-24 hours of life in newborns. Meconium is the earliest stool passed by a newborn and is composed of materials ingested while in the womb. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because transitional stool is typically seen at 3 days, meconium is not a residue of milk curd, and meconium is darker in color and stickier in consistency compared to transitional stool.
Question 5 of 5
According to the WHO, in 2022, what percentage of all new HIV infections occurred among persons AFAB?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A (46%). The term "AFAB" refers to "assigned female at birth." According to the WHO, around 46% of all new HIV infections in 2022 occurred among individuals assigned female at birth. This statistic highlights the disproportionate burden of HIV on this particular demographic. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the specific data provided by the WHO for new HIV infections among persons AFAB in 2022.
