Quiz 2022/2023 with corrrect answers graded A+
A nurse provided discharge teaching to new parents on how to care for their
newborn following circumcision. Which of the following statements by the parents
indicates the need for further clarification?
Select one:
a. "I should not remove the yellow exudate on the end of the penis."
b. "I will clean his penis with each diaper change."
c. "The circumcision will heal completely within a couple of weeks."
d. "I can give him a tub bath in two days." Correct Answer: d. "I can give him a
tub bath in two days."
The newborn should not be immersed in water until the circumcision has healed
and the umbilical cord has detached. The circumcision should heal within two
weeks.
A nurse is discussing the use of condoms with a female client. Which of the
following statements by client represents a need for further teaching?
Select one:
a. "My partner will put the condom on while his penis is erect."
b. "I will remove the condom 30 minutes after intercourse."
c. "My partner should leave an empty space at the tip."
d. "I can use spermicidal gels or creams to increase effectiveness." Correct
Answer: b. "I will remove the condom 30 minutes after intercourse."
To avoid any semen spillage onto the vulva or the vaginal area, the condom must
be removed the same time as the penis. To do that the condom rim should be held
in place while the penis is withdrawn from the vagina.
A client reports awaking from sleep by contractions that are occurring every five
minutes and lasting 30-40 seconds. Which of the following questions should the
nurse ask to assess for true labor versus false labor?
Select one:
, a. "When did your contractions begin?"
b. "Have you noticed any bloody show or fluid coming from your vagina?"
c. "What happens to your contractions when you move about?"
d. "Have you felt fetal movement over the last 24 hours?" Correct Answer: b.
"Have you noticed any bloody show or fluid coming from your vagina?"
Vaginal discharge of blood or fluid may indicate cervical dilation, and potentially
rupture of membranes. False labor is characterized by painless, irregular, and
intermittent contractions that decrease in frequency, duration, and intensity with
walking or position changes. Contractions are felt in the lower back or above the
umbilicus and often stop with comfort measures (like oral hydration). There is
usually no vaginal discharge with false labor.
False labor is characterized by painless, irregular, and intermittent contractions that
decrease in frequency, duration, and intensity with walking or position changes.
Telling the client to walk is not a correct response because it is an intervention
rather than an assessment question.
The client who is scheduled for a nonstress test (NST) asks the nurse to explain the
purpose of the test. Which of the following is the correct response?
Select one:
a. The purpose of the NST is to assess the fetal CNS.
b. The purpose of the NST helps to determine gestational age.
c. The purpose of the NST is to determine fetal lie.
d. The purpose of the NST is to determine fetal breathing. Correct Answer: a. The
purpose of the NST is to assess the fetal CNS.
This is the primary purpose of a NST. The test monitors the response of the FHR to
fetal movement. This allows the nurse to assess the FHR in relationship to the fetal
movement
A client in the early postpartum period is talkative and enjoys recounting the
details of her labor and birth. The nurse recognizes that the behaviors must likely
indicate which of the following?
Select one:
a. The taking-hold phase of maternal psychosocial adaptation.
b. The taking-in phase of maternal postpartum adjustment.
