Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is receiving medroxyprogesterone IM for contraception. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Step 1: Client understanding of the medication schedule is crucial for effective contraception.
Step 2:
Choice B indicates the client knows the correct timeframe for the next injection.
Step 3: Returning in 8 weeks ensures continuous contraceptive effect.
Step 4: Other choices lack relevance to medroxyprogesterone IM for contraception.
Summary: Option B is correct as it demonstrates understanding of the medication schedule, while other choices are unrelated to the medication's use for contraception.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with an amniotomy on a client who is in labor. Which of the following situations should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ensure that the fetal head is engaged. This is crucial before performing an amniotomy to prevent cord prolapse. The engaged fetal head helps maintain a good seal between the presenting part and the cervix, reducing the risk of cord compression. Placing the client in the left lateral position or giving clean gloves to the provider are not directly related to ensuring the fetal head is engaged. Checking the client's temperature every 4 hours after the procedure is important for monitoring maternal well-being but is not directly related to the amniotomy procedure itself.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is observing an adolescent client who is offering her newborn a bottle while he is laying in the bassinet. When the nurse offers to pick the newborn up and place them in the client's arms, the mother states 'No, the baby is too tired to be held.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Demonstrate how to hold a newborn and allow the client to practice. This option respects the mother's wishes while also providing education on proper newborn care. By demonstrating and allowing the client to practice holding the newborn, the nurse can ensure the baby's safety and promote bonding. Insisting on the mother picking up the newborn (option
A) goes against her wishes and may cause tension. Persuading the client to breastfeed (option
C) may not be suitable if the mother prefers bottle-feeding. Offering to take the newborn to the nursery (option
D) disregards the mother's desire to care for her baby.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has gestational diabetes mellitus. Which of the following clinical findings should indicate to the nurse the client has hyperglycemia?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increased urination. Hyperglycemia, high blood sugar level, in gestational diabetes mellitus can lead to osmotic diuresis, causing increased urination (polyuria). This occurs because the kidneys try to eliminate excess glucose from the blood by excreting it in the urine, resulting in increased urine production. Double vision is associated with hyperglycemia in diabetic ketoacidosis, not specifically gestational diabetes. Sweating and dizziness are more commonly related to hypoglycemia, low blood sugar. Hence, the most specific and indicative clinical finding of hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes is increased urination.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 6 weeks of gestation and reports nausea and vomiting. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Consume food served at cool temperatures. This recommendation is appropriate for alleviating nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy because warm or hot foods can trigger these symptoms. Cold foods are often better tolerated and can help reduce nausea.
Choice A is incorrect as avoiding snacks before bedtime may not necessarily help with nausea.
Choice B of eating high-fat snacks before getting out of bed may worsen symptoms.
Choice C of drinking additional liquids with each meal may not address the underlying cause of nausea.
