NCLEX Question 7: Your patient is experiencing preterm labor. To help mature the
fetal lungs and decrease the likelihood that her baby will be born with respiratory
distress syndrome, you anticipate administering what medication?
1. magnesium sulfate
2. ritodrine
3. betamethasone
4. terbutaline
Give this one a try later!
3. betamethasone - enhances surfactant production in those fetuses at risk
for preterm delivery
NCLEX Question 1: You are performing a contraction stress test on your postdates
patient. You report the findings as positive to the ordering practitioner when there are:
1. no decelerations with 3 contractions in 10 minutes
2. accelerations of the fetal heart rate with fetal movement.
, 3. contractions lasting longer than 90 seconds
4. late decelerations with more than 50% of the contractions
Give this one a try later!
4. late decelerations with more than 50% of the contractions
NCLEX Question 12: Immediately after a woman spontaneously ruptures her
membranes, the nurse notes a loop of the umbilical core protruding from the woman's
vagina. Which of the following actions should the nurse perform first?
1. Put the woman in the knee chest position
2. Administer oxygen by face mask
3. Assess the fetal heart rate
4. Notify the obstetrician of the findings
Give this one a try later!
1. Put the woman in the knee chest position
NCLEX Question 6: The nurse turns off the oxytocin (Pitocin) infusion after a period of
tachysystole. Which of the following outcomes indicates that the nurse's action was
effective?
1. Intensity moderate.
2. Frequency every 3 minutes.
3. Duration 120 seconds.
4. Attitude flexed.
Give this one a try later!
2. Frequency every 3 minutes.
