Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a postpartum client who is receiving heparin via a continuous IV infusion for thrombophlebitis in their left calf. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following is a potential complication of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Kernicterus. Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia can lead to kernicterus, a serious complication where bilirubin crosses the blood-brain barrier, causing brain damage.
Choice A, hypoglycemia, is not a typical complication of hyperbilirubinemia.
Choice C, respiratory distress syndrome, is a separate condition caused by immature lungs.
Choice D, "All of the above," is incorrect as hyperbilirubinemia specifically leads to kernicterus, not the other complications listed.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Legal issues include medical malpractice, patient autonomy, and informed refusal.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who gave birth vaginally 12 hr ago and palpates their uterus to the right above the umbilicus. Which of the following interventions should the nurse perform?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A displaced uterus to the right above the umbilicus may indicate a full bladder. Assisting the client to empty their bladder helps the uterus return to its proper position and prevents complications like postpartum hemorrhage.
