Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing the newborn of a client who took a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) during pregnancy. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse identify as an indication of withdrawal from an SSRI?
Correct Answer: C, D
Rationale: The correct answer is C and D. Bradypnea (slow breathing) and vomiting are manifestations of withdrawal from SSRIs in newborns. SSRIs, when taken during pregnancy, can lead to the baby developing a dependency on these drugs. Withdrawal symptoms can occur after birth, including respiratory depression (bradypnea) and gastrointestinal disturbances like vomiting.
Choices A and B are not typically associated with SSRI withdrawal.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge instructions about newborn safety to a client who is 2 days postpartum. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

A nurse is assessing a newborn 12 hr after birth. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse report to the provider?

Question 5 of 5
Which stage of labor is characterized by the period between the end of the third stage and the mother's recovery from delivery?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Fourth stage. The fourth stage of labor, also known as the postpartum period, begins after the delivery of the placenta and extends until the mother's vital signs stabilize and she recovers from childbirth. This stage typically lasts around 1-4 hours. During this time, healthcare providers monitor the mother for any signs of complications such as excessive bleeding or infection. The first stage (
A) is characterized by the onset of labor contractions, the second stage (
B) is the pushing stage ending with the baby's delivery, and the third stage (
C) involves the delivery of the placenta.
Choices E, F, and G are irrelevant as they do not correspond to any stage of labor.
