1. Two days after delivery, a postpartum client prepares for discharge. What should the nurse
teach her about lochia flow?
Incorrect: Lochia does change color but goes from lochia rubra (bright red) on days 1-3, to lochia
serosa (pinkish brown) on days 4-9, to lochia alba (creamy white) days 10-21.
Incorrect: Numerous clots are abnormal and should be reported to the physician.
Incorrect: Saturation of the perineal pad is considered abnormal and may indicate postpartum
hemorrhage.
Correct: Lochia normally lasts for about 21 days, and changes from a bright red, to pinkish
brown, to creamy white.
The color of the lochia changes from a bright red to white after four days
Numerous large clots are normal for the next three to four days
Saturation of the perineal pad with blood is expected when getting up from the bed
Lochia should last for about 3 weeks, changing color every few days
2. A nurse monitors fetal well-being by means of an external monitor. At the peak of the
contractions, the fetal heart rate has repeatedly dropped 30 beats/min below the baseline. Late
decelerations are suspected and the nurse notifies the physician. Which is the rationale for this
action?
Incorrect: A nuchal cord (cord around the neck) is associated with variable decelerations, not late
decelerations.
Incorrect: Variable decelerations (not late decelerations) are associated with cord compression.
Incorrect: Late decelerations are a result of hypoxia. They are not reflective of the strength of
maternal contractions.
Correct: Late decelerations are associated with uteroplacental insufficiency and are a sign
of fetal hypoxia. Repeated late decelerations indicate fetal distress.
The umbilical cord is wrapped tightly around the fetus' neck
The fetal cord is being compressed due to rapid descent of the fetal head

The fetus is not receiving adequate oxygen and is in distress
3. Which preoperative nursing interventions should be included for a client who is scheduled to
have an emergency cesarean birth?
Incorrect: Monitoring O2 saturations and administering pain medications are postoperative
interventions.
Incorrect: Taking vital signs every 15 minutes is a postoperative intervention. Instructing the
client regarding breathing exercises is not appropriate in a crisis situation when the client's
anxiety is high, because information would probably not be retained. In an emergency, there is
time only for essential interventions.
Correct: Because this is an emergency, surgery must be performed quickly. Anxiety of the
client and the family will be high. Inserting an indwelling catheter helps to keep the
bladder empty and free from injury when the incision is made.
Incorrect: The nurse should have assessed breath sounds upon admission. Breath sounds are
important if the client is to receive general anesthesia, but the anesthesiologist will be listening to
breath sounds in surgery in that case.
Monitor oxygen saturation and administer pain medication.
Assess vital signs every 15 minutes and instruct the client about postoperative care.
Alleviate anxiety and insert an indwelling catheter.
Perform a sterile vaginal examination and assess breath sounds.
4. Which nursing instruction should be given to the breastfeeding mother regarding care of the
breasts after discharge?
Incorrect: Engorgement occurs on about the third or fourth postpartum day and is a result
of the breast milk formation. The primary way to relieve engorgement is by pumping or
longer nursing. Giving a bottle of formula will compound the problem because the baby
will not be hungry and will not empty the breasts well.
Incorrect: Applying lotion to the nipples is not effective for keeping them soft. Excessive
amounts of lotion may harbor microorganisms.

lOMoARcPSD|13778330
Correct: In order to stimulate adequate milk production, the breasts should be pumped if
the infant is not sucking or eating well, or if the breasts are not fully emptied.
Incorrect: Using soap on the breasts dries the nipples and can cause cracking.
The baby should be given a bottle of formula if engorgement occurs.
The nipples should be covered with lotion when the baby is not nursing.
The breasts should be pumped if the baby is not sucking adequately.
The breasts should be washed with soap and water once per day.
5. A client in preterm labor is admitted to the hospital. Which classification of drugs should the
nurse anticipate administering?
Correct: Tocolytics are used to stop labor. One of the most commonly used tocolytic drugs
is ritodrine (Yutopar).
Incorrect: Anticonvulsants are used for clients with pregnancy-induced hypertension who are
likely to seize.
Incorrect: The glucocorticoids (e.g., betamethasone and dexamethasone) are used for
accelerating fetal lung maturation and production of surfactant. They are commonly used if the
membranes are ruptured or labor cannot be stopped.
Incorrect: Anti-infective are used if there is infection. Preterm labor may or may not involve
ruptured membranes with its accompanying risk of infection.
Tocolytics
Anticonvulsants
Glucocorticoids
Anti-infective
6. Which of the following are probable signs, strongly indicating pregnancy?
Incorrect: The presence of fetal heart sounds is a positive sign of pregnancy; quickening is a
presumptive Sign of pregnancy.
Incorrect: These are presumptive signs. They may indicate pregnancy or they may be caused by
other conditions, such as disease processes.

Correct: These are probable signs that strongly indicate pregnancy. Hegar’s sign is a
softening of the lower uterine segment, and Chadwick's sign is the bluish or purplish color
of the cervix as a result of the increased blood supply and increased estrogen. Ballottement
occurs when the cervix is tapped by an examiner's finger and the fetus floats upward in the
amniotic fluid and then falls downward.
Incorrect: These are presumptive signs that might indicate pregnancy, but they might be caused
by other conditions, such as disease processes.
Presence of fetal heart sounds and quickening
Missed menstrual periods, nausea, and vomiting
Hegar's sign, Chadwick's sign, and ballottement
Increased urination and tenderness of the breasts
7. Two hours after delivery the nurse assesses the client and documents that the fundus is soft,
boggy, above the level of the umbilicus, and displaced to the right side. The nurse encourages the
client to void. Which is the rationale for this nursing action?
Correct: Bladder distention can lead to postpartum hemorrhage. A full bladder displaces
the uterus causing it not to contract properly. Emptying the bladder allows the uterus to
contract more firmly.
Incorrect: A distended bladder rises out of the abdomen, causing the uterus to be displaced and
increasing the risk of hemorrhage. It does not affect the perineum.
Incorrect: Bladder distention can lead to urinary stasis and infection. This, however, does not
relate to the soft, boggy uterus or the potential for hemorrhage.
Incorrect: Massaging is uncomfortable regardless of whether the bladder is full or not. A full
bladder displaces the uterus causing it not to contract properly, which may lead to postpartum
hemorrhage.
A full bladder prevents normal contractions of the uterus.
An overdistended bladder may press against the episiotomy causing dehiscence.
Distention of the bladder can cause urinary stasis and infection.
It makes the client more comfortable when the fundus is massaged.

8. Which site is preferred for giving an IM injection to a newborn?
Incorrect: Ventrogluteal muscles are located in the hip area. It is not the preferred site for
injections in the newborn because of lack of muscle mass.
Correct: The middle third of the vastus lateralis is the preferred site for injections.
Incorrect: Ventrogluteal muscles are located in the hip area. It is not the preferred site for
injections in the newborn because of lack of muscle mass.
Incorrect: Newborns do not receive injections in the dorsogluteal site (gluteus maximus) due to
decreased muscle mass.
Ventrogluteal
Vastus lateralis
Rectus femoris
Dorsogluteal
9. During the first twelve hours following a normal vaginal delivery, the client voids 2,000 mL of
urine. How should the nurse interpret this finding?
Incorrect: Urinary tract infections are common during pregnancy and in the postpartum period.
Urinary frequency is a common finding. However, voiding large amounts of urine is not a sign of
a UTI.
Incorrect: High output renal failure occurs with injury/trauma to the kidneys. There has been no
damage to the kidneys. Incorrect: Most women do receive some IV fluids during labor and
delivery, however the IV rates are carefully calculated according to weight.
Correct: During pregnancy, the circulating blood volume increases by about 50%. In order
to get rid of the excess fluid volume after delivery, the woman experiences an increased
amount of urine output during the first few hours.

10. If a pregnant client diagnosed with gestational diabetes cannot maintain control of her blood
sugar by diet alone, which medication will she receive?
Incorrect: Glucophage is an oral hypoglycemic. Oral hypoglycemic cross the placenta and can
cause damage to the fetus. They are not used in gestational diabetes for that reason.
Incorrect: Glucagon is a hormone used to raise blood sugar and manage severe hypoglycemia.
Clients with gestational diabetes have hyperglycemia.
Correct: Insulin is the drug of choice for gestational diabetes. Insulin lowers the client's
blood sugar without harming the fetus.
Incorrect: DiaBeta is an oral hypoglycemic drug. Oral hypoglycemic agents cross the placenta
and can cause damage to the fetus. They are not used for gestational diabetes for that reason.
Metformin (Glucophage)
Glucagon
Insulin
Glyburide (DiaBeta)
11. Which assessment finding indicates that placental separation has occurred during the third
stage of labor?
Incorrect: There is usually an increase in bleeding (a sudden gush of blood) when the placenta
separates.
Incorrect: Contractions continue in an attempt to expel the placenta. The contractions may not
be as intense, but they do not stop. Also, fundal massage helps contract the uterus preventing
postpartum bleeding.
Incorrect: Shaking and chills occur about 10-15 minutes after the delivery of the baby, but are
not related to the placental detachment. They are a result of the release of pressure on pelvic
nerves and the release of epinephrine during labor.
Correct: As the placenta detaches, the cord that has been clamped becomes longer as it
slides out of the vagina.
Decreased vaginal bleeding
Contractions stop

12. The nurse midwife is concerned about a pregnant client who is suspected of having a
TORCH infection. Which is the main reason TORCH infections are grouped together? They are:
Incorrect: Most TORCH infections can cause mild flu-like symptoms for the mother. Death may
or may not occur in the fetus.
Incorrect: TORCH is an abbreviation for Toxoplasmosis, Other (syphilis, HIV and Hepatitis B),
Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes simplex—not all of these are sexually transmitted.
Correct: All TORCH infections have the capability of infecting the fetus or causing serious
effects to the newborn.
Incorrect: A vector is a carrier of the disease such as a mosquito. Not all of the TORCH
infections are carried by vector.

transmitted to the pregnant woman by a vector.
13. During the postpartum period, a hospitalized client complains of discomfort related to her
episiotomy. The nurse assigns the diagnosis of “pain related to perineal sutures.” Which nursing
intervention is most appropriate during the first 24 hours following an episiotomy?
Incorrect: Petroleum jelly will harbor bacteria, which may hinder healing.
Incorrect: The client should practice Kegel exercises to increase bladder tone, but these exercises
would add to the client's discomfort during the first 24hours.Incorrect: Taking a warm sitz bath is
recommended after the first 24 hours.
Correct: Ice packs will decrease edema and discomfort, and prevent formation of a
hematoma.
Instruct the client to use petroleum jelly on the episiotomy after voiding.
Encourage the client to practice Kegel exercises.
Advise the client to take a warm sitz bath every four hours.

14. A client asks the nurse about the benefits of breastfeeding. Which response by the nurse
provides the most accurate information?
Incorrect: Breastfeeding does not help speed up weight loss. The lactating mother requires more
calories, but usually has an increased appetite to accommodate that need.
Incorrect: Protein amounts are greater in formula and cow's milk.
Correct: Breast milk is easier to digest because of the type of fat and protein in the milk.
Incorrect: Breastfeeding does not prevent to woman from getting pregnant because it does not
prevent ovulation. Most women ovulate within the first 6 weeks after delivery.
Breastfeeding helps women lose weight faster.
Breast milk contains a greater amount of protein.
Breast milk is easier to digest than formula.
Breastfeeding is a good method of contraception.
15. Which physiological change takes place during the puerperium?
Incorrect: The puerperium is the first 6 weeks after delivery. The client will experience lochia for
the first few weeks, and hormone levels will stabilize. Menstruation cannot occur until ovulation
occurs.
Incorrect: This occurs in stage three of labor.
Correct: The uterine changes are called involution. The uterus should return to its pre-
pregnancy state within 6 weeks after delivery.
Incorrect: This describes the labor process, not the puerperium.
The endometrium begins to undergo alterations necessary for menstruation.
The placenta begins to separate from the uterine wall.
The uterus returns to a pre-pregnant size and location.
The uterus contracts at regular intervals with dilation of the cervix occurring.

16. A client delivered two days ago and is suspected of having postpartum "blues." Which
symptoms confirm the diagnosis?
Correct: These are signs of the postpartum blues, which typically diminishes within three-
four days after delivery. Postpartum blues, a transient period of tearfulness, is a result of
hormonal shifts. Other symptoms of the blues include: sadness, anxiety about the health of
the baby, insomnia, anorexia, anger, feelings of anticlimax.
Incorrect: Postpartum blues, a transient period of tearfulness, is a result of hormonal shifts.
Depression and suicidal thoughts are signs of postpartum depression, not the blues and should be
followed up with psychiatric treatment.
Incorrect: Excess anxiety and the inability to care for the family are signs of postpartum
depression, not the blues. Postpartum blues, a transient period of tearfulness, is a result of
hormonal shifts.
Incorrect: Nausea and vomiting are psychosomatic symptoms of postpartum depression and
require psychiatric treatment. Postpartum blues, a transient period of tearfulness, is a result of
hormonal shifts.
Uncontrollable crying and insecurity
Depression and suicidal thoughts
Sense of the inability to care for the family and extreme anxiety

17. Shortly after delivery, the nursery nurse gives the newborn an injection of phytonadione
(Vitamin K). The infant's grandmother wants to know why the baby got “a shot in his leg.”
Which response by the nurse is most appropriate?
Incorrect: Calcium is needed for bone and muscle growth, not Vitamin K.
Incorrect: Vitamin K is used to promote clotting, and does not affect digestion.
Incorrect: The B vitamins are responsible for carbohydrate metabolism and the energy derived
from glucose, not Vitamin K.
Correct: Vitamin K is given to prevent bleeding until the intestinal bacteria can start to

symptoms confirm the diagnosis?
Correct: These are signs of the postpartum blues, which typically diminishes within three-
four days after delivery. Postpartum blues, a transient period of tearfulness, is a result of
hormonal shifts. Other symptoms of the blues include: sadness, anxiety about the health of
the baby, insomnia, anorexia, anger, feelings of anticlimax.
Incorrect: Postpartum blues, a transient period of tearfulness, is a result of hormonal shifts.
Depression and suicidal thoughts are signs of postpartum depression, not the blues and should be
followed up with psychiatric treatment.
Incorrect: Excess anxiety and the inability to care for the family are signs of postpartum
depression, not the blues. Postpartum blues, a transient period of tearfulness, is a result of

17. Shortly after delivery, the nursery nurse gives the newborn an injection of phytonadione
(Vitamin K). The infant's grandmother wants to know why the baby got “a shot in his leg.”
Which response by the nurse is most appropriate?
Incorrect: Calcium is needed for bone and muscle growth, not Vitamin K.
Incorrect: Vitamin K is used to promote clotting, and does not affect digestion.
Incorrect: The B vitamins are responsible for carbohydrate metabolism and the energy derived
from glucose, not Vitamin K.
Correct: Vitamin K is given to prevent bleeding until the intestinal bacteria can start to
produce it. The intestines of a newborn are sterile until it starts to feed. Vitamin K helps

18. At 10 weeks gestation, a primigravida asks the nurse what is occurring developmentally with
her baby. Which response by the nurse is correct?
Incorrect: Wrinkles do not form until late in the pregnancy. Fat stores usually do not form until
the third trimester.
Incorrect: The eyelids are fused until about 26 weeks.
Correct: The kidneys are making urine, which is excreted by the fetus into the amniotic
fluid.

19. A nurse in the clinic instructs a primigravida about the danger signs of pregnancy. The client
demonstrates understanding of the instructions, stating she will notify the physician if which sign
occurs?
Incorrect: White vaginal discharge is a normal occurrence during pregnancy due to increased
amounts of estrogen and increased blood supply to the cervix and vagina. It is not a “danger sign.
“
Incorrect: Backache is common in pregnancy due to the alteration of the woman's center of
gravity; it is not a “danger sign.” Backaches become worse as the uterus enlarges.
Incorrect: Frequent, urgent urination is a common discomfort; it is not a danger sign. The
pressure of the enlarging uterus causes frequency and urgency.

Correct: A weak, ineffective suck could be a result of facial paralysis which is a major
complication of forceps deliveries. Scalp edema is another complication and should subside
within 2-3 days. Other complications of forceps deliveries include: cephalohematomas,
intracranial hemorrhage (especially in premature infants) and excessive bruising, which
increases the risk for hyperbilirubinemia.
Incorrect: Molding of the head is a common occurrence with vaginal deliveries. Jitteriness is a
sign of low blood sugar, not forceps delivery.
Incorrect: A shrill, high-pitched cry and tachypnea are signs of drug withdrawal, not a
complication of forceps delivery.
Incorrect: Hypothermia is not a complication of forceps deliveries. The hemoglobin level is
quite low (should be about 15-16 g/dL), but unless there is excessive bleeding, the hemoglobin
level should be unaffected by the forceps delivery.

24. In which position should the nurse place the laboring client in order to increase the intensity
of the contractions and improve oxygenation to the fetus?
Incorrect: This position is contraindicated because the fetus creates pressure on the mother's vena
cava. Incorrect: Squatting widens the pelvic inlet, but does not improve contractions or fetal
oxygenation.
Correct: This prevents vena cava compression and, therefore, improves fetal oxygenation;
at the same time, it provides a restful position between contractions.

25. A woman enters the birthing center in active labor. She tells the nurse that her membranes
ruptured 26 hours ago. The nurse immediately takes the client's vital signs. Which is the rationale
for the nurse's actions?
Incorrect: Pulse rates increase due to pain, not because of rupture of membranes.
Incorrect: The woman is not reporting pain and ruptured membranes do not cause pain. Lack of
fluid (ruptured membranes) has no influence on respiratory rates.
Incorrect: Blood pressure is not affected by prolonged rupture of membranes.
Correct: The membranes are a protective barrier for the fetus. If the membranes are
ruptured for a prolonged period of time, microorganisms from the vagina can ascend into
the uterus. The longer the membranes have been ruptured, the greater the risk for
infection.
Pulse rates rise the longer the membranes are ruptured
Respiratory rates decrease due to lack of fluid in the uterus
Prolonged rupture of membranes can lead to transient hypertension
Infection is a complication of prolonged rupture of membranes
26. A new client's pregnancy is confirmed at 10 weeks gestation. Her history reveals that her first
two pregnancies ended in spontaneous abortion at 12 and 20 weeks. She has a4-year-old and a
set of 1-year-old twins. How should the nurse record the client's current gravida and para status?
Incorrect: Gravida includes the number of times the woman has been pregnant. She has been
pregnant 5 times. A parity of 3 would be obtained by incorrectly counting the 20-week
spontaneous abortion as a viable infant.
Incorrect: The woman has been pregnant 5 times, including the present pregnancy. The abortions
count as pregnancies, but not in the parity.
Correct: Gravida is the number of times a woman has been pregnant, including the present
pregnancy. Para is the number of pregnancies carried past 20 weeks' gestation, regardless
of the number of fetuses delivered. The woman has been pregnant five times, including this
pregnancy, and has had two pregnancies that have exceeded 20 weeks. Even though she

27. A 16-year-old client reports to the school nurse because of nausea and vomiting. After
exploring the signs and symptoms with the client, the nurse asks the girl whether she could be
pregnant. The girl confirms that she is pregnant, but states that she does not know how it
happened. Which nursing diagnosis is most important?
Incorrect: Although this addresses the client's nausea and vomiting, it is not the most important
diagnosis at this time. There are no data to indicate that the client actually has a nutritional
deficit. Because nausea and vomiting place her at risk for nutritional deficit, a diagnosis of “risk
for altered nutrition. . .” would be appropriate. The knowledge diagnosis is an actual problem and
should be addressed at this contact with the client; the nutrition problem will be ongoing during
the pregnancy.
Incorrect: This diagnosis does not address the reason for the lack of client knowledge—she may
be at risk for poor parenting, but this is not the priority because there will be time to address that
issue as the pregnancy progresses.

28. A client is admitted to the hospital for induction of labor. Which are the main indications for
labor induction?
Incorrect: These are contraindications for labor induction.
Correct: Induction of labor is the stimulation of contractions (usually by the use of Pitocin)
before they begin on their own. Maternal indications for induction of labor include:
pregnancy induced hypertension, chorioamnionitis, gestational diabetes, chronic
hypertension and premature rupture of membranes. Fetal indications include intrauterine
growth retardation, post-term dates and fetal demise.

30. The nursery nurse reviews a newborn's birth history and notes that the Apgar scores were 5 at
one minute after birth, and 7 at five minutes after birth. How should the nurse interpret these
scores? The infant:
Incorrect: Usually babies that only need suctioning of the mouth and nose have Apgars that are 8

Incorrect: If intubation is required, it means that the baby's heart and respiratory rates are not
stable, and Apgars would be lower than 5.
Incorrect: Apgar scores are used to quickly assess the well-being of the baby. Apgar scores range
from 0-10. A score of 0 indicates that the baby is dead. An Apgar score of 5 indicates that the
baby needs assistance.
Correct: Apgar scores of 5 and 7 indicate that the heart rate was below 100, the respiratory
effort was irregular, there was little muscle tone, the baby was pink with blue extremities,
and there was a grimace. These scores indicate that the baby needed stimulation in order to

management of blood sugar during pregnancy?
Correct: Insulin is given to gestational diabetic clients because their insulin requirements
cannot keep up with the metabolic needs of the fetus in the last trimester. Insulin decreases
the blood sugar.
Incorrect: Oral hypoglycemic agents are not given to clients with gestational diabetes because
they cross the placenta and are harmful to the fetus.
Incorrect: The client will need frequent follow-up after delivery and into the postpartum period,
but she should not need insulin after delivery because in gestational diabetes, blood glucose
usually returns to normal after delivery.

afterpains?
Incorrect: Infection of the suture line can cause pain and discomfort, but is not the cause of
afterpains. Afterpains are postpartum uterine contractions.
Incorrect: Constipation and bloating do occur in the postpartum period as peristalsis resumes, but
constipation does not cause afterpains, which are uterine contractions.
Correct: Afterpains are caused by uterine contractions that occur for the first 2-3 days
postpartum. Breast-feeding mothers have more afterpains due to the release of oxytocin
stimulated by the nursing baby. Oxytocin strengthens uterine contractions and compresses
blood vessels, preventing blood loss.
Incorrect: Trauma is not the cause of afterpains. Afterpains are postpartum uterine contractions.

postpartum. Breast-feeding mothers have more afterpains due to the release of oxytocin
stimulated by the nursing baby. Oxytocin strengthens uterine contractions and compresses
blood vessels, preventing blood loss.
Incorrect: Trauma is not the cause of afterpains. Afterpains are postpartum uterine contractions.

33. A client who is 37 weeks gestation comes to the office for a routine visit. This is the client's
first baby and she asks the nurse how she will know when labor begins. Which signs indicate that
true labor has begun?
Incorrect: These signs describe Braxton-Hicks contractions, which occur throughout pregnancy
and increase in intensity and frequency as labor grows closer.

Incorrect: True labor pains start in the lower back and sweep to the front in waves.
Incorrect: These signs occur with lightening, usually 10-14 days before labor begins.
Correct: These are true signs of labor, along with the rupturing of the membranes and
cervical dilatation.
Contractions that are irregular and decrease in intensity when walking
Abdominal pain that starts at the fundus and progresses to the lower back
Increased pressure on the bladder and urinary frequency
Expulsion of pink-tinged mucous and contractions that start in the lower back
34. A multiparous woman with a history of all vaginal births is admitted to the hospital in labor.
After several hours, the client's labor has not progressed and she is getting tired and restless. The
decision is made to proceed with cesarean delivery. The nurse recognizes the client's knowledge
deficit regarding the surgical delivery and care afterbirth. Which is the appropriate expected
outcome for correction of the client's knowledge deficit? The client will:
Incorrect: This expected outcome does not address the client's knowledge deficit. Instead, this is
an expected outcome for the nursing diagnosis of ineffective individual coping.
Incorrect: This choice does not address the client's knowledge deficit, but instead addresses a
problem with interrupted bonding.
Correct: Goals/outcomes should reflect resolution of the stated nursing diagnosis—in this
case, knowledge deficit. Verbalization of reasons for the surgery would indicate resolution
of the knowledge deficit. If interventions for knowledge deficit are effective, other problems
(e.g., anxiety, ineffective coping) may be prevented.

35. The physician performs an amniotomy for a woman in labor. Which nursing action should
follow the procedure?
Incorrect: Maternal oxygenation is not affected by an amniotomy.
Incorrect: Maternal pulse and blood pressure are not affected by an amniotomy.
Incorrect: Assessing the perineum should be done after an episiotomy, not after amniotomy.
Correct: An amniotomy, or artificial rupture of membranes (AROM), is used to speed up
labor. The nurse must document the color, amount, character and odor of the fluid, and
assess for fetal well being.
Check the client's capillary refill and oxygenation.
Monitor the maternal pulse and blood pressure.
Inspect the perineum for lacerations, bleeding, and hematoma.
Assess the fluid for color, odor, and amount.
36. For a pregnant adolescent who is anemic, which foods should the nurse include In the client's
dietary plan to increase iron levels?
Incorrect: Milk does not contain iron and it interferes with iron absorption.
Correct: Orange juice enhances the absorption of iron. Apricots are a good source of iron.
Incorrect: Chicken does contain iron, but cottage cheese, a dairy product, does not.

Incorrect: This is the case in fraternal (dizygotic) twins. There are two placentas, two chorions,
and two amnions. The twins may be the same or different sex.
Correct: One sperm fertilizes one ovum, and then the zygote divides into two individuals
with one placenta, one chorion, two amnion and two umbilical cords. These twins are
always the same sex.
Incorrect: The enzyme on the head of the sperm dissolves the coating of the ovum so eventually
only one sperm penetrates one egg.

38. Which fetal structure is responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the placenta to the
fetus?
Incorrect: The ductus arteriosus is a shunt that connects the lungs to the aorta, allowing the blood
to bypass the lungs.
Incorrect: Except in the case of fetal circulation, arteries do carry oxygenated blood; but during
pregnancy, the two umbilical arteries carry unoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta,
where preoxygenation occurs. Incorrect: The portal vein carries blood from the intestine to the
liver.

40. Which explanation is most appropriate when describing physiological jaundice to the parents
of a newborn?
Incorrect: Pathological jaundice, not physiological jaundice, occurs within the first 24 hours and
is a result of an ABO incompatibility or Rh incompatibility.
Correct: Physiological jaundice is the result of the breakdown of excessive amounts of red
blood cells that are not needed after birth. Physiological jaundice is also related to the
inability of the immature liver to rid the body of bilirubin, which occurs as the red blood
cells are broken down. The bilirubin accumulates in the blood causing it to be yellow.
Incorrect: Jaundice related to breast milk occurs after the first 7 days, not within the first three. It
is not the cause of physiological jaundice.
Incorrect: Hepatitis B may have been acquired during delivery and may cause jaundice, but it is
not the cause of physiological jaundice, which this case represents.

41. A woman at 42 weeks gestation enters the hospital for induction of labor. Since the infant is
postterm, which complications should the nurse anticipate when planning for the delivery?
Incorrect: Cephalopelvic disproportion is seen in large-for-gestational age infants, not postterm
infants. Hypothermia occurs in premature and small-for-gestational age infants.
Correct: Asphyxia is a result of chronic hypoxia in utero because of the progressive
degeneration of the placenta. Meconium stained amniotic fluid is a result of the relaxation
of the anal sphincter and the passage of meconium into the fluid related to hypoxia. If the
meconium stained fluid is aspirated into the infant's lungs at delivery, pneumonia (and
possibly death) will result. If there is meconium stained fluid, the infant's mouth and throat
are suctioned as soon as the head is delivered.
Incorrect: Intraventricular hemorrhage occurs as a major complication in premature infants, not
postterm infants. Dry, cracked skin is a normal finding of postterm infants and is not considered
a complication.
Incorrect: Hyperbilirubinemia is not a complication of postterm infants at birth. Hypocalcemia is
a complication in small-for gestational age infants
Cephalopelvic disproportion and hypothermia
Asphyxia and meconium aspiration
Intraventricular hemorrhage and dry, cracked skin

42. Which method of temperature regulation would safely and effectively prevent cold stress in a
newly delivered infant?
Incorrect: The baby should be wrapped snuggly with a warm blanket in order to preserve heat
loss.
Incorrect: It helps to cover the feet, of course. However, because the scalp is so vascular (and the
blood is close to the surface) and because the head makes up a large portion of the baby's surface
area, most heat loss occurs via the head initially. Peripheral circulation is sluggish at first, so not
much blood would be cooled by circulating through cold feet.
Correct: Newly delivered infants lose a great deal of heat as the amniotic fluid evaporates
from the surface of the skin. To prevent rapid heat loss, the baby's face and head should be
dried and a hat placed on the baby's head.
Incorrect: Infants should NEVER be placed on a heating pad because of risk for burns.

Incorrect: Leopold's maneuvers are not used to assess contraction frequency or intensity.
However, some nurses do place their hands on the abdomen to palpate the intensity and
frequency of the contractions.
Incorrect: Leopold's maneuvers are not used to assess membrane rupture. Sterile vaginal exams

unknown expectations. This response is appropriate, and will help decrease anxiety by allowing
identification and ventilation of fears.
Incorrect: This response will encourage the client to talk and will foster good communication.

51. A client is in the latent stage of labor. Which nursing intervention is most appropriate?
Correct: Latent stage is an early stage of labor, which begins with the onset of contractions
and ends when the cervix is dilated to 4 cm. Walking adds gravity to the force of the
contractions, promotes fetal descent, and relieves backache. Once the membranes rupture,
bed rest may be indicated, for example if the fetal head is not engaged.
Incorrect: Pushing is not indicated until full cervical dilation.
Incorrect: This type of breathing pattern is used late in labor when pushing begins.
Incorrect: Once labor begins fluids and ice chips are preferred. Nausea and vomiting are
common as labor progresses. During labor, peristalsis stops. Therefore, having food in the
stomach is not advisable.
Encourage the client to walk in the hall until membranes rupture.
Instruct the client to place her head on her chest and push with the contraction.
Teach the client to use the “pant-blow” method of breathing.
Advise the client to eat a light meal consisting of carbohydrates.
52. Which conditions create a risk for uterine atony in the immediate postpartum period?
Incorrect: Breastfeeding causes uterine contractions due to the release of oxytocin. Uterine atony
is not related to the delivery of a child with chromosomal defect.
Incorrect: Uterine atony is not a result of postterm pregnancy or amniotomy.

Trendelenburg places the client with the head higher than the feet. Due to gravity, this will place
additional pressure on the cord.
Incorrect: Covering the cord with a dry gauze will not help the situation. The gauze will get wet
in a matter of seconds. There is a risk that the gauze will be lost internally.
Hold the presenting part away from the cord.
Insert a scalp electrode for an internal fetal monitor.
Place the client in reverse Trendelenburg position.
Cover the cord with a dry, sterile gauze.
51. A client is in the latent stage of labor. Which nursing intervention is most appropriate?
Correct: Latent stage is an early stage of labor, which begins with the onset of contractions
and ends when the cervix is dilated to 4 cm. Walking adds gravity to the force of the
contractions, promotes fetal descent, and relieves backache. Once the membranes rupture,
bed rest may be indicated, for example if the fetal head is not engaged.
Incorrect: Pushing is not indicated until full cervical dilation.
Incorrect: This type of breathing pattern is used late in labor when pushing begins.

Incorrect: Gestational diabetes in and of itself does not cause uterine atony. However, clients
with gestational diabetes do have babies that are large for gestational age (> 4000 grams).
Pregnancy-induced hypertension is associated with vasospasm, which does not result in uterine
atony.
Correct: Uterine atony is the inability of the uterus to contract, which leads to hemorrhage.
Clients who have had more than one delivery have decreased muscle tone in the uterus.
Clients with twins or triplets are at risk for overdistention of the uterus, which may lead to
uterine atony and hemorrhage.

53. A client at ten weeks gestation tells the nurse that she has been having “morning sickness.”
The nurse advises the client to eat foods that are easy to digest and low in fat. Which is the
rationale for the nurse's instruction?
Incorrect: Low fat diets do not stimulate peristalsis. On the contrary, high fat foods can lead to
bloating, increased peristalsis and diarrhea.
Correct: Foods containing a high fat content stay in the digestive system longer. Decreasing
the amount of fat causes faster gastric emptying, which leaves less in the stomach to be
vomited. Incorrect: Fluid and electrolyte imbalance is not a cause of nausea and vomiting
related to pregnancy.
Incorrect: Relaxation of the cardiac sphincter, causing heartburn, is a result of increased
progesterone. It causes heartburn, not nausea and vomiting.
A low-fat diet increases peristalsis, which reduces the food volume in the stomach
A low-fat diet is digested faster and leaves less in the stomach that can be vomited
Easily digested foods provide a better balance of fluids and electrolytes, resulting in less nausea
and vomiting
Easily digested foods are less likely to cause relaxation of the cardiac sphincter, which causes
regurgitation and vomiting

54. Which information is most important for the nurse to gather when a client is admitted to the
unit in labor?
Incorrect: This is useful information, but the priority information is that regarding medical
conditions which may create serious risks to the fetus and mother.
Correct: Asking the client about any medical problems should be the priority because it
provides a quick assessment for risks to the fetus and mother.
Incorrect: Fluids are given in the latent phases of labor, but gathering this information at the
initial admission interview is not as important as obtaining information about medical conditions
which may create serious risks to the fetus and mother.
Incorrect: This is not important unless the client has PIH or a cardiac condition. Even then, the
initial assessment would be to find out if the client actually has PIH or cardiac condition (e.g., by
checking the history), not to diagnose it.

55. The nurse conducting a physical assessment notes that a 1-day-old newborn with dark skin
has a bluish-gray discoloration over the lower back, the buttocks, and the scrotum. How should
this assessment finding be documented?
Incorrect: Bruising usually does not involve the scrotum, and is not usually gray.
Correct: Mongolian spots are the result of increased pigmentation over parts of the baby.
They are most commonly found in infants of Asian, Indian, African-American or
Mediterranean descent. They are harmless and fade during the first two years of life.
Incorrect: Nevus flammeus is a dark red lesion called a port wine stain. It does not blanch when
touched, and does not fade with age. This type of hemangioma usually is seen on the face or
thigh rather than the back.
Incorrect: Acrocyanosis, a normal finding, is a bluish discoloration of the hands and feet (not the
back or buttocks), and is related to sluggishness of the peripheral circulation.
