Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about the lactational amenorrhea method. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The lactational amenorrhea method requires exclusive breastfeeding, amenorrhea, and being less than 6 months postpartum to suppress ovulation effectively. The other options reduce its reliability.
Question 2 of 5
After surgery to remove a ruptured fallopian tube, a multigravid client receives discharge instructions about potential complications to report to her physician. Which of the following, if stated by the client as a complication, indicates a need for additional teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Headache is not a typical complication of ectopic pregnancy surgery.
Question 3 of 5
A multigravid client is admitted to the labor area from the emergency room. At the time of admission, the fetal head is crowning, and the client yells, 'The baby's coming!' To help the client remain calm and cooperative during the imminent delivery, which of the following responses by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Explaining the process and guiding the client during a precipitous delivery promotes cooperation and reduces anxiety. Telling her to relax is unhelpful, warning against pushing is inaccurate (cervix is fully dilated), and focusing on the doctor's arrival is irrelevant.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse and an LPN are working in the labor and delivery unit. Of the following assessments and interventions that must be done immediately, which should the nurse assign to the LPN?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An LPN can perform a straight catheterization for protein analysis, a technical task within their scope. Initial assessments, oxytocin adjustments, and labor pattern assessments require RN judgment and expertise.
