Current Issues in Maternal Newborn Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which patient may require more help and understanding when integrating the newborn into the family?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. A multipara with 6 pregnancies and 2 children younger than 3 years may require more help and understanding when integrating the newborn into the family due to potential challenges of caring for multiple young children simultaneously. This situation can lead to increased stress, fatigue, and difficulty in managing the needs of all children effectively. In contrast, choices A, B, and C have factors that may provide more support and resources for the new mother, such as being from an upper-income family (A), coming from a large family (B), or having a supportive husband and mother (C), which can help in the integration process.
Question 2 of 5
Expectant parents ask a prenaNtal RnursIe eGducaBto.rC, “WMhich setting for childbirth limits the U S N T O amount of parent–infant interaction?” Which answer should the nurse provide for these parents in order to assist them in choosing an appropriate birth setting?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Traditional hospital birth. In a traditional hospital setting, there may be limited parent-infant interaction due to medical interventions, procedures, and protocols that can restrict immediate bonding opportunities. The presence of medical staff, equipment, and potential complications may create a more clinical environment, impacting the initial bonding experience. Summary: A: Birth center - Typically encourages parent-infant interaction and supports a more natural birth experience. B: Home birth - Allows for maximum parent-infant interaction in a familiar and comfortable environment. D: Labor, birth, and recovery room - Provides a dedicated space for labor and recovery, but still allows for parent-infant interaction after birth.
Question 3 of 5
In which step of the nursing process does the nurse determine the appropriate interventions for the identified nursing diagnosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the nursing process, planning is the step where the nurse determines the appropriate interventions for the identified nursing diagnosis. Firstly, after assessing the patient's needs (Assessment), the nurse analyzes the data to identify nursing diagnoses. Next, in the Planning step, the nurse sets goals, establishes priorities, and decides on specific interventions to address the nursing diagnoses. This step involves developing a comprehensive care plan tailored to the individual patient's needs. Evaluation comes after the interventions are implemented to assess the effectiveness of the care provided. The Intervention step involves carrying out the planned interventions. Thus, the correct answer is A: Planning.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is writing an expected outcome for the nursing diagnosis—acute pain related to tissue trauma, secondary to vaginal birth, as evidenced by patient stating pain of 8 on a scale of 10. Which expected outcome is correctly stated for this problem?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it aligns with the SMART criteria for expected outcomes. Specific: It clearly states the desired pain level of 2 on a scale of 10. Measurable: It provides a quantifiable measure to assess the outcome. Achievable: The goal is realistic and attainable within a specified time frame. Relevant: It directly addresses the nursing diagnosis of acute pain related to tissue trauma. Time-bound: It includes a timeframe of 1 hour after administration for evaluation. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not meet all the SMART criteria. Choice A only focuses on the pain level without a specific timeframe. Choice B mentions pain reduction but lacks a specific target level or timeframe. Choice C mentions pain absence but lacks a specific timeframe for evaluation.
Question 5 of 5
A hospital has achieved Magnet status. Which indicators would be consistent with this type of certification?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Magnet status focuses on nursing excellence, including job satisfaction and low turnover rates. A is incorrect as it describes hierarchical communication. C is irrelevant to nursing excellence. D is incorrect as while education and certification are important, they are not mandatory for Magnet status.
