1. Question:
A postpartum client asks the nurse when she can expect her menstrual
period to return after delivery. What is the nurse’s best response?
A. "Your period will return in 4-6 weeks, even if you're breastfeeding."
B. "Your period will return as soon as you stop breastfeeding."
C. "Your period will return within 6-8 weeks after delivery, if you're not
breastfeeding."
D. "Your period will return immediately after you stop breastfeeding."
Answer: C. "Your period will return within 6-8 weeks after delivery, if
you're not breastfeeding."
Rationale:
For most non-breastfeeding women, menstruation usually resumes
within 6-8 weeks postpartum. If the woman is breastfeeding, the return
of menstruation may be delayed due to the hormonal effects of
lactation, often not occurring for several months.


2. Question:
A nurse is caring for a client who is 8 weeks pregnant and is
experiencing vaginal bleeding. What is the most appropriate action by
the nurse?
A. Perform a pelvic exam.
B. Obtain a blood sample to check the client’s HCG levels.
C. Assess the client for any pain or cramping.
D. Encourage the client to rest and monitor bleeding.
Answer: C. Assess the client for any pain or cramping.
Rationale:
Vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy can be a sign of miscarriage or

, ectopic pregnancy. The nurse should first assess the client for pain or
cramping, as these symptoms can help determine the cause of the
bleeding and guide further interventions. A pelvic exam may be
performed later, but a primary assessment of symptoms is more
appropriate initially.


3. Question:
A client who is 20 weeks pregnant reports feeling dizzy when she lies on
her back. What is the best response by the nurse?
A. "This is a normal symptom of pregnancy; try not to lie on your back
for long periods."
B. "This may indicate that you have low blood pressure; I will take your
vital signs."
C. "You should lie down and rest for a few hours to improve circulation."
D. "This is a sign of anemia; I will schedule blood work for you."
Answer: A. "This is a normal symptom of pregnancy; try not to lie on
your back for long periods."
Rationale:
The feeling of dizziness or lightheadedness when lying on the back is a
common symptom caused by the compression of the inferior vena cava,
which reduces blood return to the heart. It is recommended that
pregnant women avoid lying flat on their backs and instead lie on their
sides to improve blood flow.


4. Question:
A nurse is caring for a postpartum client who is breastfeeding and
reports sore nipples. What should the nurse recommend?
