Question 1 of 5
A nurse and an LPN are working in the labor and delivery unit. Of the following assessments and interventions that must be done immediately, which should the nurse assign to the LPN?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An LPN can perform a straight catheterization for protein analysis, a technical task within their scope. Initial assessments, oxytocin adjustments, and labor pattern assessments require RN judgment and expertise.
Question 2 of 5
To determine whether a primigravid client in labor with a fetus in the left occipitoanterior (LOA) position is completely dilated, the nurse performs a vaginal examination. During the examination the nurse should palpate which of the following cranial sutures?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the LOA position, the fetus's occiput is anterior, and the sagittal suture (running midline along the skull) is most accessible during vaginal examination to assess dilation and fetal position. Other sutures are less prominent in this presentation.
