Extract:
A nurse is teaching about clomiphene citrate to a client who is experiencing infertility.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Breast tenderness. Breast tenderness is a common adverse effect of hormonal medications like oral contraceptives. It occurs due to hormonal fluctuations and can be bothersome for some individuals. Tinnitus (
B), urinary frequency (
C), and chills (
D) are not typically associated with the side effects of oral contraceptives. Tinnitus is more commonly associated with ototoxic medications, urinary frequency may be seen with diuretics, and chills could be a sign of infection or cold exposure.
Therefore, the nurse should include breast tenderness as a potential adverse effect in the teaching plan.
Extract:
A nurse is teaching about car seat safety to the parents of a newborn who was delivered at 38 weeks of gestation.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following statements by a parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because positioning the car seat at a 45-degree angle is crucial for the safety of the baby. This angle helps prevent the baby's head from falling forward and restricting their airway.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because a car seat challenge test is not related to understanding teaching, using a sleep sack in a car seat may compromise safety, and turning the car seat forward before the recommended age is unsafe.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is postpartum following a vaginal birth.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following analgesic medications should the nurse plan to administer and document in the client's medical record?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is a commonly used analgesic medication that helps relieve pain and reduce inflammation. It is safe and effective for mild to moderate pain management. As a nurse, documenting the administration of ibuprofen is important for monitoring the client's pain relief and ensuring proper medication management.
Summary of why other choices are incorrect:
B: Aspirin - While aspirin is also an analgesic, it is not typically used for pain relief due to its antiplatelet effects and potential risks of bleeding.
C: Meperidine - Meperidine is a narcotic analgesic with a high potential for abuse and adverse effects, making it less suitable for routine pain management.
D: Fentanyl citrate - Fentanyl is a potent opioid analgesic that is usually reserved for severe pain due to its high potency and risk of respiratory depression. It is not typically the first choice for pain management.

Correct Answer: A, B, D, E, C
Rationale: The correct order is A, B, D, E, C. Firstly, instructing the client to empty their bladder ensures a clearer examination. Positioning the client supine with knees flexed and placing a small, rolled towel under one hip helps relax the abdominal muscles for better palpation of the fundus (
D). Palpating the fetal parts along both sides of the uterus (E) helps determine the fetal position. Finally, palpating the fetal part positioned above the symphysis pubis (
C) allows for confirmation of the fetal presentation. This sequence ensures a systematic and thorough assessment of the fetal position and presentation.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 37 weeks of gestation and is being tested for group B streptococcus B-hemolytic (GBS). The client is multigravida and multipara with no history of GBS.
Question 5 of 5
She asks the nurse why the test was not conducted earlier in her pregnancy. Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because testing for Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is typically done closer to the time of delivery to determine the current status of GBS colonization, which can change throughout pregnancy. Testing earlier may not accurately reflect the GBS status at delivery.
Choice A is incorrect as the presence of symptoms is not always indicative of GBS colonization.
Choice B is incorrect as GBS status can change between pregnancies.
Choice C is incorrect because previous prenatal testing does not guarantee GBS status at delivery.
