Extract:
A nurse in a prenatal clinic is caring for a client who is pregnant and asks the nurse for her estimated date of birth (EDB). The client's last menstrual period began on July 27.
Question 1 of 5
What is the client's EDB? (State the date in MMDD format. For example, July 27 is 0727.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Using Naegele's Rule (add 1 year, subtract 3 months, add 7 days), the EDB for an LMP of July 27 is May 4 (0504), assuming a 28-day cycle.
Extract:
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about reducing perineal infection with a client following a vaginal delivery.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,C,D,E
Rationale: Washing with warm water, blotting dry, cleaning front to back, and hand hygiene reduce infection risk by maintaining cleanliness and preventing bacterial spread, unlike ice packs, which address swelling.
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 caring for a client who is a primigravida, at term, and having contractions but is stating that she is 'not really sure if she is in labor or not.'
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following should the nurse recognize as a sign of true labor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cervical changes (effacement and dilation) are the most reliable sign of true labor, unlike contraction patterns, station, or membrane rupture, which are less definitive.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who experienced a vaginal birth 12 hours ago. The nurse recognizes the client is in the dependent, taking-in phase of maternal postpartum adjustment.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect during this phase?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Expressions of excitement are typical in the taking-in phase, where mothers process the birth experience, unlike learning skills, appetite changes, or family focus, which occur later.
