1. Question: A nurse is caring for a postpartum client who is breastfeeding. The
client reports sore nipples. Which of the following actions should the nurse
recommend to prevent further discomfort?

Answer: C) Ensure the baby is latched properly.

Rationale: Improper latch is a common cause of sore nipples. Ensuring that the baby latches
onto the breast correctly helps prevent nipple trauma and discomfort.



2. Question: A nurse is caring for a client who is 8 hours postpartum and reports
a heavy flow of lochia. The nurse notes that the client’s lochia is bright red and
has small clots. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Answer: B) Continue to monitor the client’s lochia.

Rationale: A heavy flow of lochia with small clots is normal during the first 24 hours
postpartum. The nurse should continue to monitor for signs of hemorrhage, but this is not
unusual during the early postpartum period.



3. Question: A nurse is teaching a client about the signs of postpartum
depression. Which of the following symptoms should the nurse include as an
indication of postpartum depression?

Answer: A) Persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness.

Rationale: Postpartum depression is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness,
hopelessness, and lack of interest in the baby. This is different from the “baby blues,” which are
common and temporary.



4. Question: A nurse is assessing a 2-day-old newborn. The nurse notes that the
newborn has a slight yellowish tint to the skin. Which of the following actions
should the nurse take?

Answer: B) Monitor the newborn’s bilirubin levels.

Rationale: Jaundice in newborns is common, particularly after the first 24 hours. The nurse
should monitor bilirubin levels to determine if treatment is necessary to prevent complications
such as kernicterus.

, 5. Question: A nurse is teaching a postpartum client about the use of a peri-bottle
for perineal hygiene. Which of the following instructions should the nurse
include?

Answer: C) Fill the peri-bottle with warm water and squirt it over the perineal area after
urination or defecation.

Rationale: The peri-bottle should be used with warm water to cleanse the perineal area gently.
This helps reduce discomfort and promotes hygiene following childbirth.



6. Question: A nurse is assessing a postpartum client for deep vein thrombosis
(DVT). Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

Answer: A) Redness, warmth, and swelling of the left calf.

Rationale: These are signs of a potential DVT, which requires prompt intervention to prevent
complications, such as a pulmonary embolism.



7. Question: A nurse is caring for a client who is 36 weeks pregnant and is
experiencing sharp abdominal pain. The nurse suspects that the client may be
experiencing placental abruption. Which of the following is a key sign of this
condition?

Answer: B) Dark red vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain.

Rationale: Placental abruption is characterized by dark red bleeding and sudden, sharp
abdominal pain, often accompanied by uterine tenderness or rigidity.



8. Question: A nurse is caring for a client in labor. The nurse observes that the
client is in the transition stage and is experiencing frequent, intense contractions.
Which of the following interventions should the nurse anticipate?

Answer: C) Provide encouragement and emotional support.

Rationale: During the transition stage, contractions are intense, and the client may feel
overwhelmed. Providing emotional support helps the client cope with the intensity of the labor
process.
