Exam | Questions and Verified Answers| 100%
Correct

1. A nurse is caring for a postpartum client who is breastfeeding.
Which of the following interventions is most important to prevent
sore nipples?
• A) Apply lanolin ointment to the nipples after each feeding
• B) Ensure the infant is latched correctly during breastfeeding
• C) Avoid breastfeeding for the first 24 hours
• D) Use warm compresses on the breasts before feeding
Answer: B) Ensure the infant is latched correctly during breastfeeding
Rationale: The most important way to prevent sore nipples is to ensure
that the infant is latched properly. Incorrect latching can cause nipple
trauma, which leads to soreness. Applying lanolin ointment may help
soothe sore nipples but does not prevent them. Avoiding breastfeeding
or using warm compresses before feeding is not recommended as
primary prevention.


2. A nurse is caring for a client at 36 weeks gestation. The client
reports severe headache, visual disturbances, and swelling of the

,hands and face. The nurse suspects preeclampsia. Which of the
following actions should the nurse take first?
• A) Check the client's blood pressure
• B) Assess fetal heart tones
• C) Administer magnesium sulfate
• D) Prepare the client for an ultrasound
Answer: A) Check the client's blood pressure
Rationale: Preeclampsia is characterized by hypertension and other
symptoms such as headache, visual disturbances, and edema. The first
action is to check the client's blood pressure to confirm the diagnosis.
Blood pressure readings greater than 140/90 mm Hg are indicative of
preeclampsia. Monitoring fetal heart tones and administering
magnesium sulfate are important but should follow confirming the
diagnosis.


3. A nurse is assessing a newborn immediately after delivery. Which of
the following findings would the nurse recognize as an indication of
respiratory distress?
• A) Acrocyanosis
• B) Grunting with each breath
• C) A heart rate of 120 bpm
• D) Pink, warm skin
Answer: B) Grunting with each breath
Rationale: Grunting with each breath is a sign of respiratory distress,
indicating that the newborn is having difficulty exhaling and is

,attempting to maintain positive pressure in the lungs. Acrocyanosis
(blue hands and feet) is common and usually resolves within a few
hours after birth. A heart rate of 120 bpm and pink, warm skin are
normal findings in a newborn.


4. A nurse is teaching a pregnant client about the symptoms of
gestational diabetes. Which of the following symptoms should the
nurse include in the teaching?
• A) Excessive thirst
• B) Severe headaches
• C) Leg cramps
• D) Frequent urination
Answer: A) Excessive thirst
Rationale: Excessive thirst is a common symptom of gestational
diabetes, which occurs due to the body's inability to properly regulate
blood sugar levels. Frequent urination can also be a symptom, as the
kidneys work to excrete excess glucose. Severe headaches and leg
cramps are not typical symptoms of gestational diabetes.


5. A nurse is caring for a client who is 8 hours postpartum and has a
history of hypertension. The nurse observes that the client's blood
pressure is 160/110 mm Hg, and there is significant swelling in the
lower extremities. Which of the following actions should the nurse
take first?
• A) Administer an antihypertensive medication
• B) Assess the client's urine output

, • C) Notify the healthcare provider
• D) Encourage the client to rest in a side-lying position
Answer: C) Notify the healthcare provider
Rationale: The client's blood pressure of 160/110 mm Hg and
significant swelling indicate potential postpartum preeclampsia or other
hypertensive complications. The nurse should first notify the healthcare
provider to assess and intervene promptly. Monitoring urine output and
administering antihypertensive medications may be part of the
treatment plan but should follow the healthcare provider's orders.


6. A nurse is caring for a client in labor and notes that the fetal heart
rate (FHR) is 170 bpm with variable decelerations. Which of the
following interventions should the nurse perform first?
• A) Administer oxygen via face mask
• B) Reposition the client to her left side
• C) Increase the IV fluids
• D) Perform a vaginal exam
Answer: B) Reposition the client to her left side
Rationale: Variable decelerations in fetal heart rate are often caused by
umbilical cord compression. The first action is to reposition the client to
her left side, which may relieve pressure on the umbilical cord and
improve fetal heart rate. If repositioning does not improve the FHR, the
nurse can then try other interventions like oxygen administration or
increasing IV fluids.
