Extract:
A nurse is teaching the parent of a newborn about bottle feeding.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements by the parent indicates a need for further instruction?

A nurse is caring for a client who experienced a vaginal birth 12 hours ago. The nurse recognizes the client is in the dependent, taking-in phase of maternal postpartum adjustment.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect during this phase?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Expressions of excitement are typical in the taking-in phase, where mothers process the birth experience, unlike learning skills, appetite changes, or family focus, which occur later.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is in active labor and notes late decelerations on the fetal monitor.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is the priority nursing action?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Positioning the client on her side is the priority for late decelerations, as it relieves vena cava compression, improving uteroplacental blood flow and fetal oxygenation.
Extract:
A nurse is assessing a client who is 3 days postpartum and is breastfeeding. The nurse notes that the fundus is three fingerbreadths below the umbilicus, lochia rubra is moderate, and the breasts are hard and warm to palpation.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following interpretations of these findings should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The findings are normal for 3 days postpartum (involuting uterus, moderate lochia, engorged breasts), requiring no additional interventions, unlike mastitis, which includes fever, or the need for bra removal or heat.
Extract:
A nurse in a clinic is teaching the mother of a 4-month-old infant who has been breastfed. The mother plans to switch her infant to an iron-fortified formula.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following should be included in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Infants' iron stores deplete around 4-6 months, necessitating iron-fortified formula to prevent deficiency anemia, unlike the other options, which are inaccurate or unrelated to the primary reason for iron supplementation.
