Question 1 of 5
Which comment made by a new mother exhibits understanding of her toddler's response to a new sibling?

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing a patient in her 37th week of pregnancy for the psychological responses commonly experienced as birth nears. Which psychological responses should the nurse expect to evaluate? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale for Answer A (Correct): The patient being excited to see her baby is a common psychological response as birth nears. This anticipation and eagerness are typical emotions experienced by expectant mothers as they approach the end of their pregnancy journey. It reflects positive emotional preparation for the upcoming birth. Summary of Incorrect Choices: B: Not preparing the nursery may indicate lack of readiness or emotional readiness for the baby's arrival, but it does not directly relate to the psychological responses commonly experienced as birth nears. C: Expressing concern about recognizing labor signs is a common worry but does not directly point to the psychological responses commonly experienced as birth nears. D: Being concerned about reaching the birth center in time is more related to logistical or practical considerations rather than the psychological responses typically associated with impending childbirth.
Question 3 of 5
Which findings are presumptive signs of pregnancy? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Amenorrhea is a presumptive sign of pregnancy because it refers to the absence of menstrual periods, which is a common indicator of pregnancy. Quickening, Ballottement, and Goodell's sign are not considered presumptive signs of pregnancy as they are more likely to be classified as probable or positive signs of pregnancy. Quickening is the first fetal movements felt by the mother, Ballottement is the passive bouncing of the fetus during a physical examination, and Goodell's sign refers to softening of the cervix. These signs are more specific and typically appear later in pregnancy compared to amenorrhea.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is educating a pregnant client about ways to prevent UTIs. Which statement by the client indicates that she understands the information from the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I should always empty my bladder right after I have intercourse." This is correct because emptying the bladder after intercourse helps to flush out bacteria and reduce the risk of UTIs. Choice A is incorrect as adequate fluid intake is important to prevent UTIs. Choice B is incorrect as drinking Coke does not prevent UTIs and may even increase the risk due to its sugar content. Choice D is incorrect as there is no evidence to suggest that drinking orange juice prevents UTIs. Overall, choice C is the best preventative measure supported by medical evidence.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is educating a pregnant client about common discomforts during the third trimester. Which statement by the nurse is appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Perform pelvic-tilt exercises. Pelvic-tilt exercises help alleviate back pain common in the third trimester by strengthening abdominal muscles and reducing strain on the lower back. This is appropriate for addressing discomforts during pregnancy. B: Eating crackers before getting out of bed helps with morning sickness, not third-trimester discomforts. C: Using humidifiers or saline nose drops is more related to nasal congestion, not common discomforts in the third trimester. D: Wearing a supportive bra is important during pregnancy but does not directly address common discomforts in the third trimester.
