Question 1 of 5
How many mLs should be drawn up?

Rationale: 30 mg ÷ 60 mg/mL = 0.5 mL. The nurse should draw up 0.5 mL of
Toradol.
Extract:
50 grams of Magnesium sulfate is added to 1L of Lactated Ringers. After giving an initial loading dose, the nurse is to infuse a maintenance dose of 2 gm/hr.
Question 2 of 5

Which blood pressure (BP) finding during the second trimester indicates a risk for pregnancy-induced hypertension?
Question 3 of 5
Which blood pressure (BP) finding during the second trimester indicates a risk for pregnancy-induced hypertension?

Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is in the second stage of labor. The nurse observes retraction of the fetal head against the maternal perineum as the head is birthed.
Question 4 of 5
Which condition is the client most likely experiencing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client is most likely experiencing shoulder dystocia. This is because shoulder dystocia occurs when the baby's shoulder gets stuck during delivery, which can lead to complications such as fetal distress and difficulty delivering the baby. Breech presentation, placenta previa, and uterine rupture are different conditions that do not involve the baby's shoulder being stuck. In breech presentation, the baby is positioned feet or buttocks first. Placenta previa is when the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix. Uterine rupture is a tear in the uterus. Each of these conditions presents with distinct symptoms and risks, none of which involve the baby's shoulder being stuck during delivery.
Extract:
The nurse caring for the pregnant patient understands that which hormone is essential for maintaining pregnancy?
Question 5 of 5
Which hormone is essential for maintaining pregnancy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Progesterone. Progesterone is essential for maintaining pregnancy as it helps prepare the uterus for implantation and supports the growth of the placenta. It also inhibits contractions of the uterine muscles, preventing premature labor. Estrogen (
A) plays a role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy, but progesterone is crucial for maintaining it. Oxytocin (
B) stimulates uterine contractions during labor, not for maintaining pregnancy. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) (
C) is produced during pregnancy but its main function is to support the corpus luteum in the early stages, not to maintain pregnancy.
