Health Nursing
1. A nurse is providing education to a 14-year-old patient during a wellness visit. According to
the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), which of the following is
the primary reason for a person of this age to see a gynecologic health-care provider?
A. To receive a first Papanicolaou (Pap) smear
B. To discuss normal hormonal changes and menstrual cycle issues
, C. To initiate permanent sterilization procedures
D. To undergo screening for menopause
Correct Answer: B
Rationales: ACOG recommends that persons assigned female at birth (AFAB) see a
gynecologic provider between ages 13 and 15 to discuss hormonal changes and
menstruation. Pap smears, sterilization, and menopause screenings are not the primary
focus for this age group.
2. A nurse is caring for a newborn in the initial recovery period. According to standard
professional staffing guidelines for perinatal units, what is the expected nurse-to-patient
ratio for this newborn?
A. One nurse to one newborn
B. One nurse to four newborns
C. One nurse to two parent-baby couplets
D. One nurse to six stable newborns
Correct Answer: A
Rationales: The textbook specifies that a newborn should have one-to-one nursing care
during the initial recovery period to ensure safety and quality. Ratios of 1:4 or 1:2 couplets
are appropriate for later postpartum care but not the immediate recovery period.
3. A nurse manager is reviewing "errors of omission" within a labor and birth unit.
Which of the following documented actions represents an error of omission?
A. Administering an incorrect dose of an antihypertensive medication
B. Failing to record a patient’s intake and output measures
C. Using an infusion pump that has not been properly calibrated
D. Entering an incorrect patient name on a lab specimen
Correct Answer: B
Rationales: An error of omission is defined as a treatment or assessment that is not
performed. Failing to record intake and output is specifically listed as a common error of
omission in perinatal care. The other options represent errors of commission or equipment
failure.
4. A nurse is preparing a presentation on the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN)
project. Which of the following is identified as one of the six primary QSEN
competencies?
A. Professional Practice Evaluation
B. Environmental Health
