Question 4 of 5
Which of the following questions should the nurse ask to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Has your back labor improved?" This question is the most appropriate to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention because it directly relates to the specific issue being addressed, which is back labor. By asking about improvement in back labor, the nurse can assess whether the intervention is targeting the problem effectively.
Choice A is incorrect because it focuses on pelvic pressure, which is not the main concern in this situation.
Choice B is incorrect as it pertains to contractions, not back labor.
Choice D is incorrect as it mentions suprapubic pain, which is not the primary focus of the intervention.
Choices E, F, and G are not provided, but they would also be incorrect if they do not target the issue of back labor.
Extract:
A nurse is providing teaching about increasing dietary fiber to an antepartum client who reports constipation.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following food selections has the highest fiber content per cup?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Lentils. Lentils have the highest fiber content per cup compared to the other options. Lentils are legumes known for their high fiber content, providing around 15.6 grams of fiber per cooked cup. This is significantly higher than the fiber content in the other choices. Cabbage, asparagus, and oatmeal have lower fiber content per cup compared to lentils. Lentils are a great source of dietary fiber, which is beneficial for digestion and overall health.
Therefore, choosing lentils would be the best option for increasing fiber intake.
