● Maternal Newborn HealthAPromotion and Maintenance Quiz
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."
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."
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place while the penis is withdrawn from the vagina.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?"
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.
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.
c. Postpartum role transition.
d. Positive mother-infant bonding.
b. The taking-in phase of maternal postpartum adjustment.
The taking-in phase begins immediately following birth and lasts a few hours to a
couple of days. It is characterized by the mother being excited and talkative, reliving
her birthing experience, and focusing on her own needs and the overall health of her
newborn.
The taking-hold phase of maternal postpartum adjustment begins on the second to
third post-partum day and lasts 10 days to several weeks. The woman's focus is on
,exerting her independence in competently caring for her newborn. She may verbalize
fears of incompetence or anxiety about exhaustion, and needs acceptance and
encouragement. Postpartum depression may occur during this time.
A nurse is positioning a client on the operating room table in preparation for a
cesarean birth. Which of the following is the correct position?
Select one:
a. Lithotomy position with a foam wedge behind the shoulders.
b. Supine position with foam wedge positioned under one hip. C
c. Modified Trendelenburg position with a foam wedge under the legs.
d. Left lateral position with a foam wedge between the legs.
b. Supine position with foam wedge positioned under one hip.
The supine position is appropriate for abdominal surgery (cesarean birth), and a
wedge under one hip laterally tilts the client and reduces uterine weight on the vena
cava and descending aorta. This helps maintain optimal perfusion of oxygenated
blood to the fetus during the procedure.

A nurse is caring for a neonate who exhibits abstinence syndrome and demonstrates
clinical manifestations of the condition. Which assessment finding is associate with
this condition?
Select one:
a. Negative Startle reflex
b. Hypothermia
c. Increased drowiness
d. Diminished tendon reflexes
b. Hypothermia
Thermal regulation issues are noted with this condition, such as hypothermia or
hyperthermia.
the neonate will demonstate increase wakefulness, sleep pattern disturbances and
shrilled high-pitched cries.
Thirty minutes after admission to the nursery an infant appeared jittery and exhibits a
weak, high pitched cry. Which of the following would be the nurse's priority action?
Select one:
a. Hold and comfort the infant to stop the crying.
b. Feed the infant oral feeding.
, c. Perform a heel stick to check serum glucose.
d. Obtain an order for a drug screening blood test.
c. Perform a heel stick to check serum glucose.
The priority action is to confirm the serum glucose before proceeding. A blood
glucose level less than 40-45 mg/dL by heel stick is an urgent situation requiring
therapy with glucose - generally orally.
A nurse is assessing a client during her first prenatal visit. The client reports that her
last normal period began on April 22. Use Nagele's rule to calculate this client's
expected date of birth (EDB). Use the MMDD format to enter exactly four numerals,
with no spaces or punctuation between the numbers.
Select one:
a. 0729
b. 0129
c. 0122
d. 0722
b. 0129
To use Nagele's rule subtract 3 months and add 7 days to the first day of the client's
last normal menstrual period.
A nurse is performing a fundal assessment on the client's second postpartum day.
Which of the following should the nurse expect if the client is experiencing normal
involution?
Select one:
a. The fundus will be one centimeter above the umbilicus.
b. The fundus will be two centimeters below the umbilicus.
c. The fundus will be one centimeter below the umbilicus.
d. The fundus will be at the level of the umbilicus.
c. The fundus will be one centimeter below the umbilicus.
The fundus descends 1-2 cms per day, so from the highest point of 1 cm above the
umbilicus at 12 hours, it should be 0 to 1 cms below the umbilicus on day two
A nurse is teaching a client the correct use a diaphragm as a method of
contraception. Which of the following statements is correct?
Select one:
a. Douche promptly after removing the diaphragm
b. Do not use any cream or jelly with the diaphragm
