Current Issues in Maternal and Child Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which nursing intervention is written correctly?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct nursing intervention that is written correctly is option D. The intervention "Assist to ambulate for 10 minutes at 8 AM, 2 PM, and 6 PM" is clear, specific, and provides a specific time frame for the activity. It is important in nursing documentation to be precise and clearly state the details of the intervention to ensure effective communication among healthcare team members. This intervention also specifies the frequency and duration of the ambulation activity, which helps in ensuring continuity of care and proper execution of the intervention for the patient.
Question 2 of 5
Which patient could safely be cared for by a certified nurse-midwife?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A patient who is Gravida 3, para 2, with no complications can safely be cared for by a certified nurse-midwife. This patient has had two previous pregnancies, both resulting in successful deliveries, and is currently not experiencing any complications. Nurse-midwives are trained to provide care for low-risk pregnancies and deliveries, making this patient an appropriate candidate for their care. Patients with mild hypertension (choice B), insulin-dependent diabetes (choice C), or borderline pelvic measurements (choice D) would likely require additional monitoring and potential intervention beyond the scope of practice of a certified nurse-midwife.

Question 5 of 5
A 55-year-old postmenopausal female patient presents to the family practice clinic for her annual examination. The nurse notes that the patient has lost inch in height. Upon further investigation, the nurse discovers that the patient has a slow-healing fracture of the left radius. What screening will most likely be initiated at this time for the patient?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this scenario, the postmenopausal female patient who has lost height and has a slow-healing fracture of the left radius presents with concerning factors for osteoporosis. The most appropriate screening to initiate in this case would be a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. DEXA scan is the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis by measuring bone mineral density. Given the patient's age, postmenopausal status, height loss, and fracture history, assessing bone health through a DEXA scan is crucial to determine the presence of osteoporosis and guide appropriate management and treatment strategies.
