Question 1 of 5
A nurse who is caring for a client who is at 15 weeks of gestation, is Rh-negative, and has just had an amniocentesis. Which of the following interventions is the nurse's priority following the procedure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer Rh(0) Immune globulin. This is the priority intervention as the client is Rh-negative and has just undergone an invasive procedure like amniocentesis, which carries a risk of fetal-maternal blood transfer. Administering Rh(0) Immune globulin helps prevent the development of Rh incompatibility, which could lead to hemolytic disease in the newborn. Checking the client's temperature (
A) and monitoring the FHR (
D) are important but not the priority immediately post-procedure. Observing for uterine contractions (
B) is important but not the priority for an Rh-negative client after amniocentesis.

A nurse is caring for a postpartum client in an outpatient setting
Exhibit1:
History and Physical
G1P1, spontaneous vaginal delivery with median episiotomy at 39 weeks of gestation.
Newborn 4,508 g (9 lb 15 oz), APGARs: 8 at 1 min, 9 at 5 min
group B streptococcus 8-hemolytic: positive (negative)
Received 2 doses of Intravenous penicillin G while in labor”
Question 2 of 5
complete the following sentence by using the lists of options. The client is at highest risk for developing ---evidenced by the client's ---
| Endometritis. |
| Mastitis. |
| Postpartum hemorrhage. |
| Group B streptococcus positive status. |
| Spontaneous vaginal delivery. |
| Median episiotomy. |
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
1. Endometritis is an infection of the uterine lining, commonly occurring post-delivery.
2. The client's risk for endometritis increases due to factors like prolonged labor, multiple vaginal exams, and retained placental fragments.
3. The client's condition or symptoms may include fever, uterine tenderness, foul-smelling lochia.
4. The other options (B-F) are not directly related to the highest risk for developing endometritis post-delivery.

A nurse is reviewing the provider's prescription in the adolescent's medical record
Exhibit 1
History and Physical, Adolescent is sexually active with two current partners.
IUD in place, Reports not using condoms during sexual activity.
History of type 1 diabetes mellitus
Question 3 of 5
The nurse suspects the adolescent is experiencing pelvic inflammatory disease and is planning care. Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse expect the provider to prescribe? Drag words from the choices below to fill in each blank in the following sentence. The nurse should anticipate a provider's prescription for---------------------- and ------------------
Correct Answer: A,E,F
Rationale: The correct answer is A, E, and F. Pelvic inflammatory disease is commonly caused by sexually transmitted infections, such as Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. The recommended treatment involves antibiotics like doxycycline (
A) and ceftriaxone (E) to target these infections. Providing education on medications (F) is essential to ensure compliance and understanding of the treatment regimen. Acyclovir (
B) is used to treat herpes infections, not PID. Imiquimod (
C) is used for certain skin conditions, not PID. Fluconazole (
D) is an antifungal medication, not typically used for PID treatment.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who becomes unresponsive upon delivery of the placenta. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct action for the nurse to take first is to determine respiratory function (
Choice
A). This is crucial as an unresponsive client may have compromised breathing which can lead to serious consequences such as hypoxia or respiratory arrest. Assessing respiratory function will help the nurse identify any immediate life-threatening issues and initiate appropriate interventions. Increasing IV fluid rate (
Choice
B) may be important later but is not the priority in this situation. Accessing emergency medications (
Choice
C) and collecting a maternal blood sample (
Choice
D) can also be important but do not address the immediate need to ensure adequate oxygenation. By prioritizing respiratory function assessment, the nurse can quickly address the most critical aspect of the client's care.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client to the labor and delivery unit when the client states, 'My water just broke.' Which of the following interventions is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Begin FHR monitoring. This is the priority intervention because it assesses the well-being of the fetus immediately after the client's water breaking. Monitoring the fetal heart rate can provide crucial information on the baby's status and help identify any signs of distress. Performing Nitrazine testing (
A) or checking cervical dilation (
C) can be done after ensuring fetal well-being. Assessing the fluid (
B) can confirm if the amniotic sac has indeed ruptured but does not provide immediate information on fetal status.
