part 1: foundations for nursing care of childbearing families
chapter 01: clinical judgment and the nursing process

multiple choice
1. a nurse in a hospital postpartum unit is preparing to assess a new mother. what is the
best first action in the nursing process?
a. review the mother’s prenatal history
b. perform a head-to‑toe physical assessment
c. ask the mother about her pain level today
d. clarify the provider’s postpartum orders
ans: a
assessment begins with reviewing the prenatal and birth history to provide context for
current status. it guides targeted assessment and hypothesis generation before performing
physical checks or data clarification—especially in a busy hospital setting.
level: application | process step: assessment
2. a labor-and-delivery nurse formulates a plan of care for a client with preeclampsia.
which short-term outcome is most appropriate?
a. “client will verbalize understanding of preeclampsia within 24 hours.”
b. “client’s blood pressure remains below 140/90 mm hg in 8 hours.”
c. “client will ambulate in hall today.”
d. “client will have stable fetal heart rate throughout labor.”
ans: b
this is a specific, measurable short-term outcome directly tied to intervention
effectiveness. option (d) is also valid, but (b) focuses on maternal clinical goal—key in
hospital-based care.
level: analysis | process step: outcomes/planning
, 4
3. a postpartum nurse notes a saturated peripad in 15 minutes and the fundus boggy. what
is the best immediate intervention?
a. notify the provider and prepare for transfusion
b. massage the fundus and recheck bleeding in 15 minutes
c. insert an indwelling catheter to relieve bladder pressure
d. reassess vital signs and check hemoglobin level
ans: b
massage stimulates uterine contraction to control bleeding immediately. reassessing vital
signs and notifying provider follow—but first stabilize uterine tone.
level: application | process step: implementation
4. during an intrapartum assessment, a nurse notes fetal heart decelerations and a
category ii tracing. what nursing action should the nurse take first?
a. increase iv fluids
b. administer oxygen via nonrebreather mask
c. turn client to left lateral position
d. notify the obstetric provider immediately
ans: c
left lateral repositioning is a first-line nursing intervention to improve uteroplacental
perfusion. fluids and oxygen usually follow if needed; notification comes after these
immediate interventions.
level: application | process step: implementation
5. a nurse is caring for a postpartum client who reports a headache and visual changes.
the client’s bp is 160/102 mm hg. what is the priority nursing diagnosis?
a. ineffective tissue perfusion: cerebral
b. risk for falls
c. acute pain
