Graded A
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for combined oral contraceptives about
potential adverse effects of the medication. For which of the following findings should the nurse
instruct the client to notify the provider? ✔✔Shortness of breath
A. Shortness of breath
The nurse should instruct the client to notify the provider immediately of any shortness of breath.
Shortness of breath and chest pain can indicate a pulmonary embolus or myocardial infarction.
Also, the nurse should instruct the client to notify the provider of other adverse effects that can
indicate potential complications, including abdominal pain, sudden or persistent headaches,
blurred vision, and severe leg pain.
A nurse is caring for a client following an amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation. Which of the
following findings should the nurse report to the provider as a potential complication?
✔✔Leakage of fluid from the vagina
B. Leakage of fluid from the vagina
,Leakage of fluid from the vagina could indicate premature leakage of amniotic fluid and should
be reported to the provider.
A nurse is calculating a client's expected date of birth using Nagele's rule. The client tells the
nurse that her last menstrual cycle started on November 27th. Which of the following dates is the
client's expected date of birth? ✔✔Answer: September 3rd
A. September 3rd
When using Nägele's rule to calculate the estimated date of birth for a client, the nurse should
subtract 3 months from the first day of the client's last menstrual cycle and then add 7 days.
November 27th minus 3 months equals August 27th. August 27th plus 7 days equals September
3rd.
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 41 weeks of gestation and has a positive contraction stress
test. For which of the following diagnostic tests should the nurse prepare the client? ✔✔Answer:
Biophysical profile (BPP)
C. Biophysical profile (BPP)
The nurse should prepare the client for a BPP to further assess fetal well-being. A positive
contraction stress test indicates there is potential uteroplacental insufficiency. A BPP uses a real
,time ultrasound to visualize physical and physiological characteristics of the fetus and observe
for fetal biophysical responses to stimuli.
A nurse is teaching a new parent about newborn safety. Which of the following instructions
should the nurse include in the teaching? ✔✔Answer: "You can share your room with your baby
for the next few weeks."
A. "You can share your room with your baby for the next few weeks."
The nurse should recommend room-sharing during the first few weeks. This allows the parent to
be readily available to the newborn and learn the newborn's cues. However, the nurse should
instruct the parent to avoid placing the newborn in their bed as it increases the risk for sudden
infant death syndrome.
A nurse is caring for a client who is in labor and whose fetus is in the right occiput posterior
position. The client is dilated to 8 cm and reports back pain. Which of the following actions
should the nurse take? ✔✔Answer: Apply sacral counterpressure.
A. Apply sacral counterpressure.
The nurse should apply sacral counterpressure to assist in relieving back labor pain related to
fetal posterior position.
, A nurse is caring for a newborn who is undergoing phototherapy to treat hyperbilirubinemia.
Which of the following actions should the nurse take? ✔✔Answer: Cover the newborn's eyes
while under the phototherapy light.
A. Cover the newborn's eyes while under the phototherapy light.
Applying an opaque eye mask prevents damage to the newborn's retinas and corneas from the
phototherapy light.
A nurse is performing a vaginal examination on a client who is in labor and observes the
umbilical cord protruding from the vagina. After calling for assistance, which of the following
actions should the nurse take next? ✔✔Answer: Apply internal upward pressure to the
presenting part using two gloved fingers.
B. Apply internal upward pressure to the presenting part using two gloved fingers.
Using evidence-based practice, the first action the nurse should take is to apply internal upward
pressure to the presenting part. Prolapse of the umbilical cord during labor can result in
decreased perfusion to the fetus, which can lead to hypoxia. After calling for assistance, the
nurse should relieve the compression on the umbilical cord by applying upward internal pressure
on the presenting part with two gloved fingers. The nurse should not move their hand.
