Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is in labor and is to have an amniotomy. Which of the following assessments should the nurse identify as the priority?
Correct Answer: B

Question 3 of 5
What is the recommended amount of weight gain during pregnancy for a woman with a normal BMI?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B (20-30 pounds). This range is recommended for a woman with a normal BMI (18.5-24.9) to ensure a healthy pregnancy. Gaining below 20 pounds may lead to low birth weight, while exceeding 30 pounds increases the risk of complications like gestational diabetes and hypertension. It is important for the mother to gain enough weight to support the baby's growth without putting her health at risk.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they suggest weight gain outside the recommended range, which could potentially harm both the mother and the baby.
Question 4 of 5
What is the primary goal of culturally competent care in maternal and newborn healthcare?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B:
To promote health equity. Culturally competent care aims to ensure all individuals receive care that is respectful of and responsive to their cultural beliefs and practices. By promoting health equity, healthcare providers can address disparities in healthcare outcomes among diverse populations.
Choice A is incorrect because cultural competence values and respects cultural differences instead of eliminating them.
Choice C is incorrect as the focus should be on the patient's cultural background, not the provider's.
Choice D is incorrect as it inaccurately suggests that all options are equally important, when in reality, promoting health equity is the primary goal.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer metronidazole 2 g PO to a client who has trichomoniasis. Available is metronidazole 250 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 8 tablets.
To calculate the number of tablets needed, divide the total dose (2g = 2000mg) by the strength of each tablet (250mg). 2000mg/250mg = 8 tablets. The other choices are incorrect because they do not result in the correct total dose required for treatment. B: 4 tablets would only provide 1000mg, which is half the required dose. C: 2 tablets would only provide 500mg, which is a quarter of the required dose. D: 1 tablet would only provide 250mg, which is only an eighth of the required dose.
Therefore, the correct choice is to administer 8 tablets to achieve the necessary 2g dose for effective treatment of trichomoniasis.
