Warm heel: Increases capillary blood flow for easier sampling.

🔷 Cleanse heel: Prevents infection by removing surface contaminants.

🔷 Puncture & collect: Get capillary blood promptly for accurate testing.

Answer 2

Correct Answers:

Assist the client to empty her bladder.

Rationale :

🟢 Deviated, elevated fundus after birth often indicates a full bladder displacing the uterus.

🟢 A full bladder prevents effective uterine contraction, increasing risk for hemorrhage.

🟢 Emptying the bladder allows the uterus to contract and return midline.

🟢 Monitoring and medications are supportive, but bladder care is priority.

🟢 Early intervention reduces complications and restores uterine tone.

Answer 3

Correct Answers:

Hemoglobin 18 g/dL (11 to 16 g/dL)

Rationale :

🔴 Elevated hemoglobin signals hemoconcentration due to severe dehydration.

🔴 Hyperemesis gravidarum causes prolonged vomiting, leading to volume loss.

🔴 This concentration effect increases blood viscosity and risk for clots.

🔴 Other options are within expected ranges or unrelated.

🔴 Prompt correction of dehydration prevents maternal/fetal harm.

Answer 4

Correct Answers:

A client who received magnesium sulfate during labor

Rationale :

🔵 Magnesium sulfate is given for preeclampsia/eclampsia, with high risk for respiratory depression postpartum.

🔵 Monitoring reflexes, respiration, and urine output is essential for toxicity detection.

🔵 Other clients have less acute needs; safety is the top priority.

🔵 Delayed assessment may miss life-threatening complications.

🔵 Rapid evaluation allows for early intervention if toxicity is found.

Answer 5

Correct Answers:

Recurrent urinary tract infections

Rationale :

🟣 Diaphragm use is linked to increased risk of UTIs due to pressure on urethra and altered vaginal flora.

🟣 Those with recurrent UTIs should use alternative contraception to avoid further infections.

🟣 Other options (tobacco use, history of GBS, DVT) do not directly contraindicate diaphragm use.

🟣 Proper screening prevents complications and discomfort.

🟣 Nurse teaching helps patients choose safest, most effective method.

Answer 6

Correct Answers:

Move the seat as far away as possible from the steering wheel.

Rationale :

🟡 Distance between abdomen and steering wheel reduces injury risk in crashes. 🟡 Lap belt should be below uterus, not high on abdomen. 🟡 Shoulder harness never across gravid uterus. 🟡 Airbags should not be disabled—added protection in crashes. 🟡 Proper seat placement and restraints protect mother and fetus.

Answer 7

Correct Answers:

Insert the suppository along the posterior vaginal wall.

Rationale :

🔴 Posterior wall insertion allows optimal medication absorption and effectiveness. 🔴 Ensures correct placement with gravity and anatomy. 🔴 Petroleum jelly impairs absorption; prone position unnecessary. 🔴 Insert to depth of 5 cm, direction is most important. 🔴 Technique affects cure rates for vaginal candidiasis.

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

A single crease in the palm

Rationale :

🟢 Simian crease (single transverse palmar crease) is characteristic of Down syndrome.

🟢 It reflects altered fetal development and occurs in many infants with trisomy 21.

🟢 Other findings (lip notch, extra digits, foot inversion) are not typical for Down syndrome.

🟢 Recognizing key features supports early diagnosis and family counseling.

🟢 Early interventions improve outcomes for these newborns.

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

"I will need to attend a support group when I get home."

Rationale :

🟣 Molar pregnancy can cause grief, anxiety, and fear about future fertility. 🟣 Emotional support is vital during physical and psychological recovery. 🟣 Support groups help women share experiences and find resources. 🟣 Chemotherapy, palliative care, and amniocentesis are not routine post-molar pregnancy. 🟣 Psychosocial care aids full recovery.

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

The newborn's fingers curl around the nurse's finger when placed in the newborn's palm.

Rationale :

🔵 Palmar grasp reflex is normal and expected in term newborns.

🔵 It demonstrates intact neurologic function at birth.

🔵 Absence may indicate neuro or muscular disorders.

🔵 Other reflexes described (rooting, Babinski, eye closure) are separate primitive reflexes.

🔵 Reflex assessment guides newborn neurologic evaluation.
