A postpartum client complains of stress incontinence. What information should the
nurse suggest to the client to overcome stress incontinence?
a) Perform aerobic exercises
b) Frequently empty the bladder
c) Reduce fluid intake
d) Perform Kegel's exercises - ✔️✔️Perform Kegel's exercises
Correct
Explanation:
The nurse should ask the client to perform the Kegel's exercises in which the client
needs to alternately contract and relax the perineal muscles. Aerobic exercises will not
help to strengthen perineal muscles. Reduced fluid intake and frequent emptying of the
bladder will not help the client overcome stress incontinence.
A nurse is monitoring the vital signs of a client 24 hours after childbirth. She notes that

a) Postpartal gestational hypertension
b) Bleeding
c) Diabetes
d) Infection - ✔️✔️Bleeding
Correct
Explanation:
Blood pressure should also be monitored carefully during the postpartal period, because
a decrease in this can also indicate bleeding. In contrast, an elevation above 140 mm
Hg systolic or 90 mm Hg diastolic may indicate the development of postpartal
gestational hypertension, an unusual but serious complication of the puerperium. An
infection would best be indicated by an elevated oral temperature. Diabetes would be
indicated by an elevated blood glucose level.
Bonding between a mother and her infant can be defined how?

d) Family growing closer together after the birth of a new baby - ✔️✔️A process of
developing an attachment and becoming acquainted with each other
Correct
Explanation:
Bonding in the maternal-newborn world is the attachment process that occurs between
a mother and her newborn infant. This is how the mother and infant become engaged
with each other and is the foundation for the relationship. Because bonding is a process
and not a single event, option B is incorrect. The process of bonding is not a year-long
process, so option C is incorrect. The family growing closer together after the birth of a
new baby is not bonding, so option D is incorrect.
The process by which the reproductive organs return to the nonpregnant size and
function is termed what?
a) Evolution
b) Involution
c) Decrement
d) Progression - ✔️✔️Involution
Correct
