These actions typically include assessing the patient's medical history, obtaining informed consent, ensuring the patient meets the criteria for vaccination, preparing and administering the vaccine properly, and monitoring the patient for any adverse reactions. Providing a vaccine information statement (B) is also important, but it alone does not encompass all the essential actions required for administering the vaccine. Choices C and D are incomplete and do not address the specific actions needed for vaccination administration.
Question 2 of 5
A primigravida patient, 8 gestational weeks, is at the prenatal clinic for her first examination with complaints of nausea and vomiting every morning.†Which comment made by the patient would indicate the need for further instruction?

Question 3 of 5
A patient (gravida 3, para 2, at 40.6 weeks' gestation) asks, Is there anything we can do to start labor besides medication? I'm so ready to have this baby.†Which response is appropriate by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because brisk walking can help stimulate contractions by using gravity to encourage the baby's descent. This physical activity can engage the baby's head on the cervix, promoting the release of oxytocin, a hormone that triggers labor. This is a non-invasive and natural method that can be safe for most pregnant individuals. Choice A is incorrect because there are non-medication methods like brisk walking that can help start labor. Choice B is incorrect as amniocentesis is not typically used to initiate labor but to assess lung maturity. Choice D is incorrect as it mentions medication for labor induction, which was not the patient's initial inquiry about non-medication options.
Question 4 of 5
A patient has an epidural for pain control during labor. During the

Administering low-flow oxygen (B) may not be necessary unless there is a specific indication. Turning the patient on her left side (C) is important for labor progress but not the priority in this scenario. Option D is incomplete.
Question 5 of 5
A patient asks the nurse why her baby is receiving a vitamin K injection. The nurse's best response is based on what knowledge?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because newborns lack appropriate intestinal flora to synthesize vitamin K. This is important as newborns are at risk of vitamin K deficiency bleeding due to insufficient stores at birth. Choice A is incorrect because vitamin K primarily plays a role in coagulation, not platelet production. Choice B is incorrect as newborns can produce vitamin K but are deficient in intestinal flora. Choice D is incorrect because vitamin K is synthesized by gut bacteria, not in bone marrow.
