Extract:
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is 2 days postpartum and wants to continue using her diaphragm for contraception.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Refitting is necessary postpartum due to potential vaginal changes. Oil-based lubricants damage diaphragms, 6 hours is standard post-intercourse, and sterile water isn't used for storage.
Extract:
A nurse is discussing fertility treatment options with a client and their partner.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following nonpharmacological treatments should the nurse suggest?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Maintaining a healthy weight improves fertility by regulating ovulation. Lubricants can hinder sperm motility, hot baths reduce sperm count, and herbal tea lacks proven fertility benefits.
Extract:
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a patient following tubal ligation.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement by the patient indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ovulation will indeed remain the same after a tubal ligation. The procedure blocks or seals the fallopian tubes, preventing egg transport, but the ovaries continue to function normally, producing hormones and releasing eggs. Premenstrual tension persists, menstrual periods aren't affected in length, and hormone replacement isn't required.
Extract:
A nurse is reviewing the prescriptions for a client who is pregnant and is taking digoxin.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take to best evaluate the client's medication adherence?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Checking serum digoxin levels directly assesses adherence by confirming therapeutic range. Kidney function and pulse rate don't measure adherence, and self-reporting may be unreliable.
Extract:
