### Question 1
,Complications of Phototherapy
Question: A newborn receiving phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia has decreased
urinary output. What is the most appropriate nursing intervention?
A. Document as a normal side effect of phototherapy
B. Increase frequency of feeding to promote hydration
C. Stop phototherapy and notify healthcare provider immediately
D. Monitor vital signs every hour
Correct Answer: B. Increase frequency of feeding to promote hydration
Rationale: Phototherapy increases insensible water loss, which may cause dehydration
and decreased urinary output. Increasing feeding frequency helps prevent dehydration and
promotes diuresis. Stopping phototherapy is only warranted if severe complications arise.
### Question 2
Complications of Pregnancy
Question: A pregnant client at 32 weeks gestation reports frequent headaches, visual
disturbances, and swelling of her face and fingers. What is the priority nursing
action?
A. Advise the client to rest and increase fluid intake
B. Assess blood pressure and notify the healthcare provider immediately
C. Administer acetaminophen for headache relief
D. Encourage light exercise and monitor symptoms
Correct Answer: B. Assess blood pressure and notify the healthcare provider immediately
,Rationale: These are classic signs of preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication
characterized by hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. Immediate assessment of blood
pressure and early provider notification are crucial to prevent progression to eclampsia or
HELLP syndrome.
### Question 3
Adverse Effects of Nifedipine
Question: A pregnant client prescribed nifedipine for preterm labor reports flushing,
headache, and dizziness. What should the nurse do?
A. Explain that these are common side effects and advise safety measures when standing
B. Instruct the client to stop the medication immediately
C. Notify the healthcare provider for a medication change
D. Monitor for signs of hypertension
Correct Answer: A. Explain that these are common side effects and advise safety
measures when standing
Rationale: Nifedipine commonly causes vasodilation effects such as flushing, headache,
hypotension, and dizziness. Educating about these side effects and advising slow position
changes can prevent falls. Medication discontinuation should only occur under provider
guidance.

reproductive tract. Early identification and treatment are important to prevent complications
like pelvic inflammatory disease.
