Question 1 of 5
Who should Nurse Sandra consider as a priority for home visitation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nurse Sandra should consider Cindy, 7 years old who has been absent due to skin lesions, as a priority for home visitation. Skin lesions can indicate potential health issues that need to be addressed promptly. Cindy's frequent absences could be a sign that her condition is affecting her school attendance and overall well-being. By conducting a home visit, Nurse Sandra can assess Cindy's living environment, provide appropriate care recommendations, and ensure that she receives necessary medical attention. This proactive approach can help address Cindy's health concerns and support her academic performance.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following conditions does the nurse explain to the patient the contributory factor that slows uterine involution?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Prolonged labor is a condition in which labor lasts for an extended period, typically more than 20 hours for first-time mothers and more than 14 hours for experienced mothers. Prolonged labor can contribute to slowing down uterine involution because the prolonged pressure and strain on the uterus can affect its ability to return to its pre-pregnancy size and position. The prolonged contractions and stretching of the uterine muscles can hinder the normal process of uterine involution, leading to a delay in the uterus shrinking back to its non-pregnant state. Additionally, prolonged labor can increase the risk of postpartum complications such as excessive bleeding and infection, which can further impact uterine involution. Therefore, it is crucial for healthcare providers to monitor labor progress closely to prevent prolonged labor and its potential effects on uterine involution.
Question 3 of 5
Based on her knowledge on otitis media, Nurse Selma recalls that children are predisposed to AOM due to the following rish factors, EXCEPT ______.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Breastfeeding is actually a protective factor against acute otitis media (AOM) in children due to the antibodies and nutrients present in breast milk that help strengthen the immune system and the Eustachian tube function. Swimming, exposure to cigarette smoke, and poor hygiene are all risk factors for AOM. Swimming can introduce water into the ears, which can lead to infections. Exposure to cigarette smoke can irritate the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract and increase the risk of infections. Poor hygiene can lead to the spread of bacteria that can cause AOM.
Question 4 of 5
Patient Josephine asks why her labor is much shorter compared to previous deliveries. Which of the following is the BEST RESPONSE?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The statement "Multigravida patient has shorter labor" is the best response to Patient Josephine's question about her shorter labor compared to previous deliveries. In obstetrics, it is commonly observed that labor tends to be shorter in patients who have had previous pregnancies (multigravida patients) due to factors such as prior cervical changes and previous stretching of the birth canal. This phenomenon is known as "multigravida cervical efficiency," and it can lead to faster and more efficient labors in subsequent pregnancies for women who have had previous deliveries.
Question 5 of 5
On the question as to which of the following are the effects of AIDS on pregnancy, one teenager cited a wrong answer which was ________.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The effects of AIDS on pregnancy do not generally include repeated abortion as a direct consequence. AIDS can impact pregnancy by increasing the risk of complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, and potential transmission of the virus from mother to child. Infertility can also be a concern, but repeated abortion is not a common effect of AIDS on pregnancy. It is important to provide accurate information about the effects of AIDS on pregnancy to ensure proper understanding and support for individuals affected by this condition.
