ATI RN Custom 2023 Fall Exam 3 Questions
Extract:
When reviewing the medical record of a postpartum client, the nurse notes that the client has experienced a fourth-degree laceration.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse understands that the laceration extends to which area?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Through the anterior rectal wall. This choice is correct because a laceration extending through the anterior rectal wall indicates a deeper level of injury compared to the other options. A laceration through superficial structures above the muscle (
Choice
A) would be less severe.
Choices C and D involve structures related to the anal sphincter and perineal muscles, respectively, but do not specifically address the depth of the laceration as directly as
Choice B.
Therefore,
Choice B is the best answer as it indicates a more serious level of injury.
