Extract:
A nurse is observing a new mother bathing her newborn son for the first time.
Question 1 of 5
For which of the following actions should the nurse intervene?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Using a cotton-tipped swab to clean the nares can push debris further or cause injury, requiring intervention, whereas the other actions align with safe newborn care practices.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for an antepartum client whose laboratory findings indicate a negative rubella titer.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this data?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A negative rubella titer indicates no immunity, requiring immunization post-delivery to protect future pregnancies, as vaccination during pregnancy is contraindicated.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is having a nonstress test performed. The fetal heart rate (FHR) is 130 to 150/min, but there has been no fetal movement for 15 minutes.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse perform?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Offering a snack like orange juice stimulates fetal movement for the nonstress test, a non-invasive first step, unlike premature reporting, repositioning, or walking.
Extract:
A nurse is admitting a term newborn following a cesarean birth. The nurse observes that the newborn's skin is slightly yellow.
Question 4 of 5
This finding indicates the newborn is experiencing a complication related to which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Slightly yellow skin in a term newborn suggests physiologic jaundice, common due to immature liver function, unlike vitamin K deficiency, cocaine exposure, or blood group incompatibility.
Extract:
A nurse on a labor unit is admitting a client who reports painful contractions. The nurse determines that the contractions have a duration of 1 minute and a frequency of 3 minutes. The nurse obtains the following vital signs: fetal heart rate 130/min, maternal heart rate 128/min, and maternal blood pressure 92/54 mm Hg.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is the priority action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Positioning with one hip elevated addresses low blood pressure (92/54 mm Hg), improving perfusion, unlike notification, voiding, or pain medication, which are secondary.
