B. obtain the specimen after a period of abstinence from ejaculation of 2 to 5
days.
C. transport specimen with container packed in ice.
D. ensure that the specimen arrives at the laboratory within 30 minutes of

C-Depo-Provera is a progestin-only form of hormonal contraception. Depo-Provera is
administered as an intramuscular injection. In addition to the changes in the cervical
mucus, some but not all ovulatory cycles are suppressed, and formation of an
endometrium capable of supporting implantation is inhibited. The effectiveness rate

to get pregnant."
B. "You may want to avoid licorice root, lavender, fennel, sage, and thyme
while you are trying to conceive."
C. "You should not take anything with vitamin E, calcium, or magnesium. They
will make you infertile."
D. "Herbs have no bearing on fertility."
b-Nettle leaf, dong quai, and vitamin E promote fertility. Herbs that a woman should
avoid while trying to conceive include licorice root, yarrow, wormwood, ephedra,
fennel, goldenseal, lavender, juniper, flaxseed, pennyroyal, passionflower, wild
cherry, cascara, sage, thyme, and periwinkle. Vitamin E, calcium, and magnesium
may promote fertility and conception. Although most herbal remedies have not been
proven clinically to promote fertility, women should avoid the following herbs while
trying to conceive: licorice root, yarrow, wormwood, ephedra, fennel, goldenseal,
lavender, juniper, flaxseed, pennyroyal, passionflower, wild cherry, cascara, sage,
thyme, and periwinkle.
A client is using the basal body temperature (BBT) method of contraception
.She calls the clinic and tells the nurse, "My period is due in a few days, and
my temperature has not gone up." The nurse's most appropriate response is:
A. "This probably means you're pregnant."
B. "Don't worry; it's probably nothing."
C. "Have you been sick this month?"
D. "You probably didn't ovulate during this cycle."
d-Pregnancy cannot occur without ovulation (which is being measured using the BBT
method). A comment such as this discredits the client's concerns. Illness would most
likely cause an increase in BBT. The absence of a temperature decrease most likely
is the result of lack of ovulation.
A married woman has made the decision to use a diaphragm as her primary
method of birth control. The clinic nurse should provide which instructions
regarding care of, insertion, and removal of the diaphragm? (Select all that
apply.)
A. Remove the diaphragm by catching the rim from below the dome.
B. Avoid using mineral oil body products
C. On insertion, direct the diaphragm down toward the space below cervix
, Page 3 of 21
D. Wash diaphragm monthly with mild soap and water
E. A dusting of cornstarch is appropriate after drying the diaphragm
B C D E-The diaphragm should not be removed by trying to catch the rim from below
the dome. Oil-based products can cause the breakdown of the rubber. The
diaphragm should be inserted into the vagina, directing it inward and downward as
far as it will go to the space behind and below the cervix. The diaphragm should be
washed after each use with mild soap and water. Cornstarch may be used.
Which of the following tasks may be delegated to the nursing assistant?
a. checking the cervix of the patient who is less likely to deliver soon
b. administering oxygen to the mother who has decreasing oxygen saturations
c. providing ice chips for a mother who complains of a dry mouth
d. Tearing off a strip of paper from the fetal heart rate monitor and putting it in
the chart
C- When working in L&D the UAP can help with ADLs. They cannot be delegated
tasks that require formulating a care plan, taking off orders, or administering
medications
Which of the following situations would most likely warrant contact with a
physician for further orders for care or treatment?
A. A patient has a 3rd degree perineal laceration after delivery
B. A patient has lost 100 mL of blood with delivery
C. A patient has a boggy uterus that does not firm with massage
D. A patient is having rectal pain
C. When caring for postpartum patients, the nurse must be familiar with what
conditions are common occurrences following delivery and what situations warrant a
call to the physician for further help. Postpartum complications often include
infection, blood clots, and hemorrhage. Excess bleeding may occur when the uterus
is boggy and it does not firm up with massage.
Following removal of the epidural, the patient develops a severe headache
when she sits up in bed. The physician has instructed the patient that she will
need a blood patch. Which best describes this procedure?
A. Removing blood from a vein in the patient and injecting it into the epidural

B. Placement of a large bandage over the site of the epidural insertion.
C. Replacement of the epidural catheter into the same space for long-term
