1. A nurse is caring for a postpartum client who reports heavy vaginal bleeding.
What is the priority action?

a. Palpate the uterus
b. Administer oxytocin
c. Perform a pelvic examination
d. Increase the IV fluid rate

Answer: a. Palpate the uterus

Rationale: The priority action for a postpartum client experiencing heavy bleeding is to assess
the uterine tone by palpating the uterus. A boggy uterus can lead to postpartum hemorrhage.
Administering oxytocin may be indicated later, but assessment is the first priority.



2. A nurse is assessing a newborn 24 hours after birth. Which of the following
findings requires immediate intervention?

a. Heart rate of 160 bpm
b. Respiratory rate of 55 breaths/min
c. Absence of bowel sounds
d. Cyanosis around the mouth when crying

Answer: d. Cyanosis around the mouth when crying

Rationale: Cyanosis that occurs only around the mouth when crying is considered abnormal and
may indicate respiratory distress. The other findings are within normal limits for a newborn.



3. A nurse is teaching a new mother about infant formula preparation. Which of
the following statements by the mother indicates the need for further teaching?

a. "I will prepare the formula by following the directions on the label."
b. "I can store any leftover formula in the refrigerator for 24 hours."
c. "I will always use clean water to mix the formula."
d. "I should discard any leftover formula that has been heated and not consumed."

Answer: b. "I can store any leftover formula in the refrigerator for 24 hours."

Rationale: Prepared formula should be discarded if not consumed within 1 hour of feeding.
Leftover formula that has been heated or has been at room temperature for more than 1 hour
should not be saved.

, 4. A nurse is caring for a laboring client who is 7 cm dilated. The client’s
membranes rupture spontaneously. What is the priority assessment?

a. Check for cord prolapse
b. Assess the fetal heart rate
c. Assess the color and amount of amniotic fluid
d. Administer pain medication

Answer: b. Assess the fetal heart rate

Rationale: After the rupture of membranes, the nurse should assess fetal heart rate immediately
to determine if cord prolapse or fetal distress is present.



5. A nurse is caring for a newborn who is being treated for hypoglycemia. Which
of the following actions should the nurse take first?

a. Administer an intravenous glucose solution
b. Feed the newborn breast milk or formula
c. Perform a heelstick glucose test
d. Monitor the newborn's vital signs

Answer: b. Feed the newborn breast milk or formula

Rationale: The first step in managing hypoglycemia in a newborn is to provide oral feeding to
increase blood sugar levels. If the newborn cannot feed or glucose levels remain low, intravenous
glucose may be needed.



6. A postpartum client is complaining of severe perineal pain. The nurse observes
that the client has a second-degree laceration. What is the best nursing
intervention?

a. Apply a warm compress to the perineum
b. Administer an analgesic as prescribed
c. Encourage the client to practice pelvic floor exercises
d. Perform perineal care with warm water only

Answer: b. Administer an analgesic as prescribed

Rationale: Severe perineal pain is common after a second-degree laceration. Administering
prescribed analgesics provides immediate relief, while other interventions (e.g., warm compress)
may be used afterward for additional comfort.
