Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the electronic medical record of a postpartum client. The nurse should identify that which of the following factors paces the client at risk for infection.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A midline episiotomy increases the risk for infection in postpartum clients due to the incision made in the perineum during childbirth. This incision can serve as a portal of entry for microorganisms, leading to an increased risk of infection. Meconium-stained amniotic fluid (choice A) can increase the risk of respiratory distress in the newborn but is not directly related to infection in the postpartum client. Placenta previa (choice B) is a condition during pregnancy where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, which poses risks related to bleeding rather than infection postpartum. Gestational hypertension (choice D) is a risk factor for developing preeclampsia or eclampsia during pregnancy but does not directly increase the risk of infection in the postpartum period.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse assesses a patient for medical eligibility for contraceptive use. What is the meaning of an MEC score of 1?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the context of medical eligibility for contraceptive use, an MEC (Medical Eligibility Criteria) score of 1 indicates that there are no restrictions for using the particular contraceptive method. A score of 1 suggests that the advantages of using the contraceptive method outweigh any potential risks, making it a safe and recommended choice for the patient. Therefore, a patient with an MEC score of 1 can use the contraceptive method without any concerns regarding health risks or restrictions.
