Extract:
A nurse at an antepartum clinic is caring for four clients.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following clients should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: B

Extract:
A nurse is caring for a patient immediately following the delivery of a stillborn fetus.
Question 2 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.
Extract:
A nurse is assessing a full-term newborn upon admission to the nursery.
Question 3 of 5
What clinical findings should the nurse report?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Single palmar creases may indicate genetic conditions like Down syndrome and should be reported. Rust-stained urine isn't typically assessed at admission, subconjunctival hemorrhage is benign, and transient circumoral cyanosis is normal if brief.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a newborn who has jaundice and a new prescription for phototherapy.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Closing the eyes before applying eyepatches protects them from phototherapy light. Turning isn't critical, lotion blocks light, and glucose water isn't indicated.
Extract:

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
