Extract:
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client following a tubal ligation procedure.
Question 1 of 5
Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it demonstrates the client's understanding that ovulation will not be affected by the teaching. This indicates comprehension of the material because ovulation is a separate process from menstruation.
Choice B is incorrect as menstrual period length is not typically addressed in teaching about ovulation.
Choice C is incorrect because premenstrual tension is not directly related to ovulation.
Choice D is incorrect as hormone replacements following a procedure are not necessarily discussed in the context of ovulation teaching.
Extract:
A nurse is assessing a newborn who has neonatal abstinence syndrome.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Excessive crying. Excessive crying is a common finding in infants with colic, which is a self-limiting condition characterized by prolonged and inconsolable crying. Diminished deep tendon reflexes (
A), absent Moro reflex (
B), and decreased muscle tone (
D) are not typically associated with colic. It is important for the nurse to recognize these findings to differentiate them from colic and provide appropriate care.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a newborn immediately following birth.
Question 3 of 5
For which of the following reasons should the nurse delay the instillation of antibiotic ophthalmic ointment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Delaying the instillation of antibiotic ophthalmic ointment helps facilitate bonding between the newborn and parent. This is important because the initial moments after birth are crucial for establishing a strong emotional connection between the newborn and the parent, which can have long-lasting positive effects on the child's development.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the weight of the newborn, identifying infection, and mode of delivery do not directly impact the need to delay the instillation of the ointment for bonding purposes.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is one day postpartum and breastfeeding her newborn. The client reports sore nipples.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assess the newborn's latch while breastfeeding. This is important to ensure proper attachment and effective milk transfer, preventing nipple soreness and inadequate milk supply. Option A is incorrect as limiting breastfeeding time can hinder milk production. Option C is incorrect as newborns need frequent feedings. Option D is incorrect as offering formula can interfere with establishing breastfeeding.
Extract:
A nurse is planning care for a client who is 1 hour postpartum and has peripartum cardiomyopathy.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Restrict daily oral fluid intake. In a scenario where fluid restriction is necessary, the nurse should plan to limit the patient's oral fluid intake to help manage a specific condition such as heart failure or kidney disease. This action helps prevent fluid overload, which can lead to complications like edema and worsening of the patient's condition. Assessing blood pressure (
B) is important but not the most relevant action in this context. Administering an IV bolus of lactated Ringer's (
A) is not appropriate without a specific indication. Obtaining a prescription for misoprostol (
D) is not relevant to fluid management.
