Extract:
A nurse is reviewing the prescriptions for a client who is pregnant and is taking digoxin.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take to best evaluate the client's medication adherence?

Extract:
A nurse is caring for a patient immediately following the delivery of a stillborn fetus.
Question 3 of 5
What action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Providing photos of the fetus supports memory-making and aids in the grieving process after a stillbirth. An autopsy is optional, time with the fetus should be based on parental wishes, and naming the fetus is not legally required.
