Extract:
An infertile woman receiving urofollitropin (Metrodin).
Question 1 of 5
How is purified follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (urofollitropin [Metrodin]) administered to an infertile woman as part of the pharmacologic treatment?

Question 3 of 5
The most common cause of decreased variability in the fetal heart rate (FHR) that lasts 30 minutes or less is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fetal sleep cycles normally cause temporary decreased FHR variability, lasting 20-40 minutes, without indicating distress. Other causes suggest pathology.
Extract:
A woman who has had a mastectomy.
Question 4 of 5
What important, immediate postoperative care practice should the nurse remember when caring for a woman who has had a mastectomy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Avoiding BP cuffs on the affected arm prevents lymphedema risk due to impaired lymphatic drainage post-mastectomy. Venipuncture and IVs are also avoided, and the arm should be elevated, not immobilized.
Extract:
None specified.
Question 5 of 5
The maternity nurse understands that vascular volume increases 40% to 45% during pregnancy to:
Correct Answer: C
