Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Provide the client with photos of the fetus. This action promotes bonding and helps the client cope with the loss by creating lasting memories. It allows the client to visually connect with the fetus and aids in the grieving process. Providing photos can offer comfort and closure.
Incorrect
Choices:
B: Informing the client that the law requires them to name the fetus is incorrect because there is no such legal requirement.
C: Limiting the amount of time the fetus is in the client's room may not be necessary and could hinder the client's grieving process.
D: Instructing the client that an autopsy should be performed within 24 hours is incorrect as it may not be the best timing for the client emotionally and may not be necessary in all cases.

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Offer your baby a pacifier during naps if desired. This is the correct statement because pacifiers have been shown to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by providing a safe sucking mechanism that can help babies self-soothe. Providing a pacifier during naps can also help babies fall asleep faster and improve sleep quality.
Choice A is incorrect because applying triple antibiotic ointment on the umbilical cord can increase the risk of infection and delay the natural healing process.
Choice C is incorrect because giving a baby an immersion bath daily can strip their skin of natural oils and lead to dryness and irritation.
Choice D is incorrect because swaddling a baby with their legs in an extended position can increase the risk of hip dysplasia.
In summary, the correct statement promotes safe sleep practices and infant comfort, while the incorrect statements may pose risks to the baby's health and well-being.
Extract:
A nurse is preparing to administer metronidazole 2 g PO to a client who has trichomoniasis. Available is metronidazole 250 mg tablets.
Question 3 of 5
How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 8
Rationale: The correct answer is 8 tablets. The question asks for the number of tablets to administer, rounded to the nearest whole number.
To determine this, we calculate the total number of tablets.
Then, we round it as instructed. Any number below 0.5 rounds down, and 0.5 and above rounds up. In this case, the total tablets are likely a decimal number, and when rounded to the nearest whole number, it becomes 8.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 8 tablets. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the rounding rule specified in the question.
