Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the cervical mucus detection natural family planning method, the type of cervical mucus that is related to the most fertile period is commonly described as "egg white cervical mucus". This type of mucus is clear, stretchy, and slippery, resembling raw egg whites. In contrast, "scant" cervical mucus refers to mucus that is minimal or in small quantity and is not associated with the peak fertility period.

Question 6 of 9
A nurse is planning care for a newborn who is scheduled to start phototherapy using a lamp. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action the nurse should include in the care plan for a newborn undergoing phototherapy using a lamp is to ensure that the newborn's eyes are closed beneath the shield. This is important to protect the newborn's eyes from exposure to the bright light emitted during phototherapy, as prolonged exposure can lead to eye damage. Keeping the eyes closed under the shield helps prevent potential harm and ensures the safety and well-being of the newborn during the treatment. Applying a thin layer of lotion, giving glucose water, or dressing the newborn in clothing are not relevant or appropriate actions for phototherapy care in this scenario.

Question 9 of 9
A nurse is caring for a client who has preeclampsia and is being treated with magnesium sulfate IV. The client's respiratory rate is 10/min and deep-tendon reflexes are absent. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most appropriate action for the nurse to take in this situation is to discontinue the medication infusion. The client is showing signs of magnesium sulfate toxicity, which can include respiratory depression (low respiratory rate) and absent deep-tendon reflexes. These are early signs of magnesium toxicity, and prompt action is needed to prevent further complications. Discontinuing the medication infusion will help reduce the risk of magnesium toxicity worsening. The other options are not appropriate in this situation as they do not address the immediate concern of magnesium toxicity.
