Question 1 of 5
A nurse is developing an education program for a community group about dietary intake of vitamins and minerals in the diet. The nurse should include which of the following foods as sources of vitamin C?
Correct Answer: B,C,D,E
Rationale: Strawberries, oranges, tomatoes, and green peppers are rich in vitamin C, supporting immune function and iron absorption. Milk is primarily a source of calcium and vitamin D.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 6 weeks of gestation with her first pregnancy and asks the nurse when she can expect to experience quickening. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Quickening occurs between 16–20 weeks (fourth to fifth months). It is not felt in the first trimester, last trimester, or tied to uterine rise.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse on a labor unit is admitting a client who reports painful contractions. The nurse determines that the contractions have a duration of 1 min and a frequency of 3 min. The nurse obtains the following vital signs: fetal heart rate 130/min, maternal heart rate 128/min and maternal blood pressure 92/54 mm Hg. Which of the following is the priority action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Maternal hypotension (92/54 mm Hg) requires immediate action. Placing the client in a lateral position improves blood flow, addressing potential fetal compromise. Voiding, pain medication, and provider notification are secondary.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is in active labor and notes that the presenting part is at 0 station. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this clinical finding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A 0 station means the presenting part (usually the head) is at the ischial spines, indicating pelvic engagement. The largest diameter passing the outlet, fontanel palpation, or head position (e.g., left occiput posterior) are unrelated to station.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing anticipatory guidance about child development to the parents of a preschooler. Which of the following developmental tasks should the nurse include as being expected of a preschooler?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Preschoolers (3–5 years) engage in imaginary play, aiding social and cognitive development. Privacy, collecting, and impulse control are more typical of older children.
