Choice B is incorrect because the client will typically lie on their back during amniocentesis.

Question 3 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: The correct answer is C: Assist the client to empty their bladder. After a vaginal birth, the uterus should be midline and firm. Palpating the uterus to the right above the umbilicus indicates a full bladder displacing the uterus. A distended bladder can prevent the uterus from contracting properly, leading to postpartum hemorrhage. By assisting the client to empty their bladder, the nurse helps the uterus contract effectively, reducing the risk of complications. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not address the underlying issue of a full bladder. Option D is incorrect as lying on the right side does not address the bladder distension.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 20 weeks of gestation and has trichomoniasis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Malodorous discharge. Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite that commonly presents with a foul-smelling, frothy, greenish-yellow vaginal discharge. At 20 weeks gestation, the client may not exhibit other symptoms like urinary frequency or vulva lesions, making malodorous discharge the most likely finding. Thick, white vaginal discharge (option
A) is more indicative of a yeast infection. Urinary frequency (option
B) is not a typical symptom of trichomoniasis. Vulva lesions (option
C) are not a common manifestation of trichomoniasis.
