Extract:
A woman at 24 weeks gestation consuming a glass of wine daily
Question 1 of 5
A patient at 24 weeks of gestation says she has a glass of wine with dinner every evening. The nurse will counsel her to eliminate all alcohol intake because:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Alcohol exposure risks fetal brain growth impairment, potentially causing cognitive deficits. Daily intake does not inherently indicate alcoholism or other substance risks, and organ anomalies are less likely at 24 weeks.
Extract:
Nonstress test (NST) result
Question 2 of 5
What is the result of a nonstress test (NST) in which two or more fetal heart rate (FHR) accelerations of 15 beats/min or more occur with fetal movement in a 20-minute period?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Two or more accelerations indicate a reactive NST, suggesting fetal health. Other terms apply to different tests or results.
Extract:
A pregnant woman in her third trimester feeling faint, dizzy, and agitated
Question 3 of 5
What is the best nursing intervention for a pregnant woman in her third trimester who complains of feeling faint, dizzy, and agitated while her vital signs are being assessed?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Left-side positioning relieves vena cava compression, improving symptoms of supine hypotension. Other actions risk worsening the condition.
Extract:
A husband and wife undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET)
Question 4 of 5
In vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a common approach for women with blocked fallopian tubes or unexplained infertility and for men with very low sperm counts. A husband and wife have arrived for their preprocedural interview. The husband asks the nurse to explain what the procedure entails. The nurse's most appropriate response is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: IVF-ET uses the couple's own eggs and sperm, fertilized in a lab, and the embryo is transferred to the uterus. Donor embryos or sperm are not standard in this procedure unless specified. Dismissing the question is unprofessional and unhelpful.
Extract:
A pregnant woman with gestational diabetes mellitus
Question 5 of 5
What are the maternal and neonatal risks associated with gestational diabetes mellitus?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: GDM increases risks of maternal preeclampsia and fetal macrosomia due to glucose imbalances. Other options are unrelated complications.
