Maternity NCLEX RN Questions Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is discussing the contraceptive injection with a client. Which of the following side effects should the nurse mention?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The contraceptive injection may cause irregular bleeding and potential weight gain. It does not guarantee regular periods, cause permanent infertility, or significantly increase breast cancer risk.

Question 2 of 5

A 19-year-old primigravid client at 38 weeks' gestation is admitted to the hospital in active labor that began 8 hours ago. When the client's cervix is 7 cm dilated and the presenting part is at +1 station, the client tells the nurse, 'I need to push!' Which of the following would the nurse do next?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: At 7 cm dilation, the client is not fully dilated, and pushing can cause cervical trauma. A pant-blow breathing pattern helps manage the urge to push until full dilation. The McDonald procedure is for cervical cerclage, and increasing oxygen/fluids or encouraging pushing is inappropriate.

Question 3 of 5

A client asks about the effectiveness of the vaginal contraceptive ring. Which of the following responses by the nurse is accurate?

Correct Answer: B

Question 4 of 5

A client asks about the risks of the contraceptive patch. Which of the following would the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The contraceptive patch may increase the risk of blood clots, especially in smokers or those with risk factors. It does not cause permanent infertility, guarantee weight loss, or eliminate periods (it causes withdrawal bleeding).

Question 5 of 5

A preterm neonate who has been stabilized is placed in a radiant warmer and is receiving oxygen via an oxygen hood. While administering oxygen in this manner, the nurse should do which of the following?

Correct Answer: A
