The nurse is assessing the umbilical cord of a newborn. Which finding
constitutes a normal finding?
Three vessels: two arteries and one vein
A couple has been trying to conceive for nine months without success. Which
information obtained from the clients is most likely to have an impact on the
couple's ability to conceive a child?
They use lubricants with each sexual encounter to decrease friction.
The use of lubricants (D) has the potential to affect fertility because some lubricants
interfere with sperm motility.
Which action should the nurse implement when preparing to measure the
fundal height of a pregnant client?
Have the client empty her bladder.
Immediately after birth a newborn infant is suctioned, dried, and placed under
a radiant warmer. The infant has spontaneous respirations and the nurse
assesses an apical heart rate of 80 beats/minute and respirations of 20
breaths/minute. What action should the nurse perform next?
Initiate positive pressure ventilation.
The nurse should immediately begin positive pressure ventilation (A) because this
infant's vital signs are not within the normal range, and oxygen deprivation leads to
cardiac depression in infants. (The normal newborn pulse is 100 to 160 beats/minute
and respirations are 40 to 60 breaths/minute.) Waiting until the infant is 1 minute old
to intervene may worsen the infant's condition. According to neonatal resuscitation
guidelines, CPR is not begun until the heart rate is 60 or below or between 60 and
80 and not increasing after 20 to 30 seconds of PPV. (D) can be checked after
treating the respiratory rate.
The total bilirubin level of a 36-hour, breastfeeding newborn is 14 mg/dl. Based
on this finding, which intervention should the nurse implement?
Encourage the mother to breastfeed frequently.

The nurse is preparing to give an enema to a laboring client. Which client
requires the most caution when carrying out this procedure?
A 40-week primigravida who is at 6 cm cervical dilatation and the presenting part is
not engaged.
When the presenting part is ballottable (D), it is floating out of the pelvis. In such a
situation, the cord can descend before the fetus causing a prolapsed cord, which is
an emergency situation.
At 14-weeks gestation, a client arrives at the Emergency Center complaining of
a dull pain in the right lower quadrant of her abdomen. The nurse obtains a
blood sample and initiates an IV. Thirty minutes after admission, the client
reports feeling a sharp abdominal pain and a shoulder pain. Assessment
findings include diaphoresis, a heart rate of 120 beats/minute, and a blood
pressure of 86/48. Which action should the nurse implement next?
Increase the rate of IV fluids.
A client who has an autosomal dominant inherited disorder is exploring family
planning options and the risk of transmission of the disorder to an infant. The
nurse's response should be based on what information?
Each pregnancy carries a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder.
The nurse is counseling a woman who wants to become pregnant. The woman
tells the nurse that she has a 36-day menstrual cycle and the first day of her
last menstrual period was January 8. The nurse correctly calculates that the
woman's next fertile period is
January 30-31
A 26-year-old, gravida 2, para 1 client is admitted to the hospital at 28-weeks
gestation in preterm labor. She is given 3 doses of terbutaline sulfate
(Brethine) 0.25 mg subcutaneously to stop her labor contractions. The nurse
plans to monitor for which primary side effect of terbutaline sulfate?
Tachycardia and a feeling of nervousness.
30-year-old gravida 2, para 1 client is admitted to the hospital at 26-weeks'
gestation in preterm labor. She is given a dose of terbutaline sulfate (Brethine)
0.25 mg subcutaneous. Which assessment is the highest priority for the nurse
to monitor during the administration of this drug?
Maternal and fetal heart rates.

A client with gestational hypertension is in active labor and receiving an
infusion of magnesium sulfate. Which drug should he nurse have available for
signs of toxicity?
antidote for magnesium sulfate-
calcium gluconate
The nurse observes a new mother avoiding eye contact with her newborn.
Which action should the nurse take?
Observe the mother for other attachment behaviors.
To assess for other attachment behaviors, continued observation of the new
mother's interactions with her infant
Observe the mother for other attachment behaviors. helps the nurse determine
problems in attachment.
Ask the mother why she won't look at the infant may cause undue confusion, stress,
or impact the mother's self-confidence.
Which maternal behavior is the nurse most likely to see when a new mother
receives her infant for the first time?
Her arms and hands receive the infant and she traces the infant's profile with her
fingertips
A 4-week-old premature infant has been receiving epoetin alfa (Epogen) for the
last three weeks. Which assessment finding indicates to the nurse that the
drug is effective?
Changes in apical heart rate from the 180s to the 140s.
Epogen
given to prevent or treat anemia, stimulates erythropoietin production, resulting in an
increase in RBCs. Since the body has not had to compensate for anemia with an
increased heart rate, changes in heart rate from high to normal
