D.A 32-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man who works for a pest control company

A. A 28-year-old woman and 35-year-old man who have traveled extensively worldwide Rationale: Although global travel may expose individuals to infectious disease, this rarely results in chromosomal damage. Women older than 35 years of age and a family history of congenital disorders need to be explored in more detail. Finally, concern is increasing that some genetic disorders may occur due to occupational hazards, such as being in contact with toxic substances.

Which of the following tasks is the most important task of the first trimester of pregnancy? A.Accepting the pregnancy B.Accepting a coming child C.Making plans for the baby D.Sharing time with a significant other

A. April 27 Rationale: Naegele's rule is to count backward 3 months and add 7 days from the first day of the last menstrual period to determine an expected due date.

During a sports physical, a 17-year-old male adolescent asks the nurse when to begin testicular self-exams. Which is the most appropriate patient teaching? A.In adolescence B.In his early 20s C.In his early 30s D.In middle age

A. In adolescence Rationale: Beginning in adolescence will allow the adolescent to establish a good baseline for later changes and also develop the habit of performing the examination.

Which of the QSEN competencies is best reflected by the act of a nurse promoting the use of electronic health records (EHRs) to track the health histories of families who are mobile because of seasonal employment? A.Informatics B.Quality improvement C.Evidence-based practice D.Safety

A. Informatics Rationale: Although use of EHRs would make the monitoring of outcomes easier (quality improvement), minimize risk through system effectiveness (safety), and allow local data to be collected to better guide practice (evidence-based practice), the competency of informatics, which is the use of information and technology to manage knowledge, prevent error, and support decision making, is the competency most relevant to this example.

When a woman uses a vaginal spermicide, which of the following actions should she be performing? A.Insert the product by applicator no more than 1 hour prior to coitus. B.Use a douche within 6 hours after coitus. C.Keep a feminine hygiene product available to use in case her supply of spermicide runs out. D.Place the product near the vaginal orifice instead of further back for immediate contact with sperm.

A. Insert the product by applicator no more than 1 hour prior to coitus. Rationale: Vaginal spermicides are most effective when placed far back in the vagina where seminal fluid and sperm tend to collect; because spermicides have a short half-life at body temperature, they should not be placed more than 1 hour before sexual relations. Feminine hygiene products are not effective substitutes for spermicides.

A woman during her first trimester questions how much longer she will have urinary frequency. Which should the nurse advise her regarding urinary frequency? A.It is a common complaint during the first trimester and again later in the third trimester. B.It is a common concern reported during the entire pregnancy. C.It will subside after the first trimester. D.It is a concern until the last trimester of pregnancy.

A. It is a common complaint during the first trimester and again later in the third trimester. Rationale: The weight of the growing uterus causes urinary frequency during the first trimester. After lightning occurs in the last trimester, urinary frequency reoccurs.

pt's last menstrual cycle began april 1, using nagele's rule when is her due date? A. Jan 8 B. Jan 15 C. Feb 8 D. Feb 15

A. Jan 8

The majority of genetic disorders are inherited as recessive traits. Which best describes these recessive inheritance? A.Two genes for the disease must be present in an offspring for the disease to occur. B.There is a 50% possibility that a child born to two carriers will have the disease. C.Only one parent must carry the trait for the disease to occur. D.Most recessive disorders are not evident at birth (are recessed).

A. Two genes for the disease must be present in an offspring for the disease to occur. Rationale: In a recessive trait, the offspring must receive one recessive gene from each parent to have the active disease. A child born of two carriers would have a 25% chance of having the disease. Both parents must have be carriers for it to occur in the child.

Pt is post op after a salpingectomy d/t ectopic pregnancy. What statement by client req's further clarification? A. "Its good to know I won't havea tubal pregnancy ever again" B. "The doc said the surgery can affect my ability to get pregnant in the future" C. "I understand one of my fallopian tubes was removed" D. "ovulation can still occur b/c my ovaries were unaffected"

A. risk of recurrence of an ectopic pregnancy are inc. following an ectopic pregnancy

A woman calls into the ambulatory care center. She reports that her at-home ovulation predictor test strip results were "positive." She asks what this means. Which should the nurse explain? A."The kit has detected an increased presence of luteinizing hormone (LH) in the urine." B."The kit has determined that your cervical mucus is receptive to sperm." C."The kit has detected an increase in free estrogen in the urine." D."The kit has detected that ovulation will take place within the next 6 to 8 days."

A."The kit has detected an increased presence of luteinizing hormone (LH) in the urine." Rationale: The kit has detected in the urine the hormone that surges prior to ovulation, indicating that the woman is approaching ovulation. Usually, a positive test will indicate that an ovum will be released within the next few days, indicating the most fertile period during the menstrual cycle. The kit does not test for presence of estrogen in the urine or the condition of the cervical mucus.

In performing a family assessment, what is the best way to handle the situation of an English-speaking healthcare provider and parents who do not speak English? A.Assure that a translator from the healthcare organization is present. B.Enlist the help of a neighbor visiting the home who speaks English. C.Ask the oldest child in the family who has learned English to translate. D.Ask the family to bring a friend who speaks English with them for the next visit.

A.Assure that a translator from the healthcare organization is present. Rationale: It is the healthcare organization's responsibility to provide translation resources when the healthcare provider and the clients do not speak the same language. Asking a child in the family, a friend, or a neighbor is not appropriate (except in case of extreme emergency) because this could lead to the child needing to make age-inappropriate judgments or could easily result in a "third-party" health history from nonfamily members.

nurse in health clinic is reviewing contraceptive use w/ group of clients--which statement demonstrates understanding? A. "a water soluble lube sohuld be used w/ condoms" B. "a diaphragm should be removed 2 hr after sex" C. "Oral BC can worse acne" D. "a BC patch is replaced 1x/month

Pt tells nurse "I am not sure I am happy about being pregnant" what can nurse say in response? A. "I'll tell the HCP you're having these feelings" B. "Its normal to have these feelings during the first few months of pregnancy" C. "you should be happy you're bringing a new life into the world!" D. "I'm going to make you an appt w/ the counselor to discuss these thoughts"

B

Which of the following nursing interventions is appropriate when preparing a woman for an amniocentesis? A.Inform her that a narcotic premedication will be given to prevent pain during needle insertion. B.Be certain she knows that there is a slight risk of complication, such as premature labor, from amniocentesis. C.Instruct her not to empty her bladder prior to the procedure. D.Suggest that she take a deep breath and hold it during needle insertion.

B. Be certain she knows that there is a slight risk of complication, such as premature labor, from amniocentesis. Rationale: Amniocentesis carries a slight risk of beginning labor. The woman should not hold her breath because that depresses the diaphragm, shifts the contour of the uterus, and may shift the location of the placenta to the chosen needle insertion site. The bladder should be emptied to avoid accidental puncture.

A woman who is 3 months pregnant enjoys a slow, long walk daily. Which of the following would be most appropriate for her concerning this for the remainder of her pregnancy? A.Reduce walking to half a block daily. B.Continue this as long as she enjoys it. C.Stop and rest every block. D.Engage in aerobics for greater benefits.

B. Continue this as long as she enjoys it. Rationale: Walking is an excellent exercise during pregnancy because it is low impact and increases venous circulation.

This method of family planning A.Requires abstinence from sexual intercourse the week after menstruation B.Requires abstinence from sexual intercourse 3 to 4 days before ovulation and 3 to 4 days after ovulation C.Requires close monitoring of temperature and assessment of cervical mucus D.Combines abstinence from sexual intercourse 2 days before ovulation and 2 to 3 days after ovulation in addition to monitoring temperature

B. Requires abstinence from sexual intercourse 3 to 4 days before ovulation and 3 to 4 days after ovulation Rationale: Abstinence during that time period provides some degree of protection during the most fertile days of the cycle. Adding additional ways of determining when ovulation occurs, such as monitoring cervical mucus or basal temperature, would increase the accuracy of predicting ovulation.

Which is an example of a culture-specific value or norm? A.The expectation that communication between the woman and the healthcare provider will be understood by both parties B.The expectation to have only the spouse present during the delivery C.The desire to have healthy family communication D.The desire for the family to have enough basic necessities in life

B. The expectation to have only the spouse present during the delivery Rationale: The expectation of having only the spouse in the delivery room is only one of many cultural values related to expectations about labor and delivery and thus is not a universal one. In contrast, the expectations of clear communication with healthcare providers, having good family communication, and striving for enough resources for the family to flourish are almost universally embraced by all cultures.

A community health nurse is conducting a family assessment of the Robinson family, who are a nuclear family. In the course of the interview, she asks who brings in the bulk of the family's income and is told that it is Ms. Robinson, who works as a business associate. This answer establishes which role for Ms. Robinson in this family? A.The primary decision maker for the family B.The primary provider for the family C.The primary problem solver for the family D.The primary gatekeeper for the family

B. The primary provider for the family Rationale: Whoever brings in the bulk of the family income is considered the primary provider for the family; however, this does not mean that the primary provider is the primary decision maker, problem solver, or gatekeeper. In some cultures, these roles are still maintained by the male member of the nuclear family; therefore, additional information would need to be gathered by the nurse to make these determinations.

The school nurse conducts a sports physical examination on a 14-year-old gymnast, who voices a concern that she has not begun menstruation, even though most of her friends have. Which is the best nursing action? A.Advise her to share her concerns with her family doctor because this certainly is an abnormal occurrence. B.Explain that because of her low body fat, it is not unusual for menstruation not to have begun yet. C.Report these findings immediately to her physician for further evaluation. D.Encourage the use of hormone supplements to promote puberty.

B.Explain that because of her low body fat, it is not unusual for menstruation not to have begun yet. Rationale: Menstruation may begin as late as age 15 years and still be considered within normal limits. Further, body fat and athletic participation may delay the onset. Supplements are not needed or appropriate.

BCD

which of the following are probable signs of pregnancy? SATA. A. montgomery's glands B. goodell's sign C. Ballottement D. chadwick's sign E. quickening

BCD

couple is being evaled for infertility, what statement by the nurse indicates understanding of the assessment process? A. "you will need to see a genetic counselor as part of the assessment" B. "Its usually the woman who has trouble so men don't need to be involved in assessment" C. "the male is easiest to access and the provider will usually begin there" D. "think about adopting first because there are so many babies out there that need good homes"

C

nurse instructing pt on oral BC about things to report to HCP--which does she include? A. reduce mentrual flow B. breast tenderness C. SOB D. inc appetite

C

pt is experiencing maternal hypotension and asks about the cause, what does the nurse say? A. "its d/t the inc. blood volume" B. "its d/t the pressure of the uterus on the diaphragm C. "its d/t weight of uterus on vena cava" D. "its d/t inc. cardiac output"

C

Which of the following suggestions would be the best technique to help a patient relax during a pelvic examination? A."Bear down as if you have to move your bowels." B."Take a deep breath and hold it." C."Count backward from 20 at a steady pace." D."Tense your abdominal muscles so the uterus contracts less."

C. "Count backward from 20 at a steady pace." Rationale: Tensing abdominal muscles can make a pelvic exam painful. Suggesting a method to aid relaxation can reduce discomfort.

Blood volume normally increases during pregnancy. The extent of this increase is what percentage of prepregnancy volume? A.1% to 10% B.20% to 30% C.30% to 50% D.70% to 90%

C. 30% to 50% Rationale: To supply adequate blood for fetal circulation, blood volume increases 30% to 50%.

As a pregnant woman lies on the examining table, she grows very short of breath and dizzy. The nurse recognizes which as the probable cause? A.Her cerebral arteries are growing congested with blood. B.The uterus requires more blood in a supine position. C.Blood is trapped in the vena cava in a supine position. D.Sympathetic nerve responses cause dyspnea when a woman lies supine.

C. Blood is trapped in the vena cava in a supine position. Rationale: Supine hypotension syndrome, or an interference with blood return to the heart, occurs when the weight of the fetus rests on the vena cava.

The term "reproductive life planning" best refers to the counseling of A.Only adult married women B.Couples who are concerned using contraception prior to their first pregnancy C.Couples with concerns related to conceiving, genetic abnormalities, and child-spacing needs D.Only couples who are concerned about genetic defects in future children

C. Couples with concerns related to conceiving, genetic abnormalities, and child-spacing needs. Rationale: Reproductive life planning is pertinent to any woman and man of childbearing age who is in, or is planning to be in, a sexual relationship. It refers to planning for both having and not having children. Although reproductive life planning can encompass preventing pregnancies for genetic reasons, it is not limited to this purpose.

Which of the following is not a nursing responsibility related to care being provided to pregnant women and children in the home? A.Making home visits for assessment and reevaluation purposes B.Supervising home health personnel C.Driving the pregnant woman to her follow-up medical visits D.Providing health teaching to the patient and family

C. Driving the pregnant woman to her follow-up medical visits Rationale: Although nurses may assist in arranging for patient transportation, transporting home care patients to their primary care providers is not a nursing responsibility. All other activities listed are considered appropriate nursing actions.

A community health nurse is performing a family assessment. He asks questions about how many family members reside in the house and what the relationships are among them. What is the nurse assessing? A.Family member role B.Family function C.Family structure D.Family relation to the community

C. Family structure Rationale: Assessment of family structure targets identification of family members and the relationship among them. Assessment of family member role identifies what primary and secondary roles each member plays within the family. Assessment of family function addresses how well the family as a whole is performing each family function. Finally, assessment of the family in relation to the community is a broader issue in which the relationship of the family to the community at large would be addressed.

A male patient is interested in learning more about having vasectomy. Which of the following would you include in your teaching? A.He will no longer ejaculate. B.He may notice increased scrotal swelling over time. C.He will need to continue to use contraception until at least 10 weeks after the procedure. D.His testes will no longer produce sperm.

C. He will need to continue to use contraception until at least 10 weeks after the procedure. Rationale: Vasectomy does not stop sperm production nor does it affect ejaculation. Usually, there is no swelling of the scrotum, even immediately after the procedure, although occasionally a hematoma may form. Because residual sperm may be present in the vas deferens, birth control should be used until the sperm count is negative.

Which question would be most appropriate to ask in assessing the community in relation to initiating home care for a pregnant woman who needs to be on bed rest? A.Does the caregiver know what steps to take if the pregnant woman's condition suddenly becomes worse? B.Is there adequate electrical wiring in the home? C.Is an emergency response mechanism (e.g., 911) available? D.Are there working smoke detectors in the home?

C. Is an emergency response mechanism (e.g., 911) available? Rationale: Although all of the questions are related to assessing the adequacy of being able to provide home care, the other questions are related to the adequacy of resources available in the individual home rather than in the community. Availability of an emergency response is a community resource.

Which of these actions would be most likely to promote family-centered care? A.Restrict hospital visiting hours so patients can rest. B.Place a limit on the number of visitors per patient to improve patient security. C.Solicit parent's preferences about the way education is delivered. D.Restrict the pediatric play area to specific times.

C. Solicit parent's preferences about the way education is delivered. Rationale: All of the other choices restrict choices that families can make about healthcare services, access to family, and their child's developmental needs.

A pregnant woman is planning on taking a vacation that involves extensive travel by automobile. Which of the following guidelines should you give her? A.Travel no more than 50 miles daily. B.Do not use a lap seat belt. C.Stop and walk every hour. D.Avoid riding in a pickup truck.

C. Stop and walk every hour. Rationale: The danger of long periods of travel occurs when the woman sits for long periods with her knees sharply bent. Walking increases venous return and reduces the possibility of thrombophlebitis.

Which of the following statements best defines sexual identity? A.The chosen activities a person uses to express masculinity or femininity B.The male or female characteristics determined by genetic factors C.The feeling of being male or female D.The male or female characteristics encouraged by the culture

C. The feeling of being male or female Rationale: Sexual identity refers to whether individuals see themselves as male or female, not to their activity or to the cultural expectation.

A woman is using a basal body temperature (BBT) graph to monitor fertile periods. She calls to report that she did not see any temperature change during her past monthly cycle. To which does the nurse attribute this? A.An elevated estrogen level B.An elevated FSH level C.A failure to ovulate D.An elevated progesterone level

C.A failure to ovulate Rationale: The most likely reason is that the woman probably did not ovulate during this menstrual cycle. During a cycle when ovulation occurs, FSH and estrogen increase near the time of ovulation and progesterone surges within several days after ovulation (also see Fig. 7.1 in the text).

pt is experiencing LBP, what measures can she take to relieve the LBP? SATA. A. avoid any lifting B. perform kegels 2x/day C. perform pelvic rock exercises daily D. use proper body mechanics E. avoid restrictive clothing

D

nurse is teaching pt about IUD. what statement indicates understanding? A. "an IUD sohuld be replaced anually" B. "I cannot get an IUD until I have a child" C. "I should plan on regaining fertility 5 months after the IUD is removed" D. "I will check to make sure the strings of the IUD are still present after my period"

D

The advance practice nurse is conducting health histories and physicals for a local high school football team. Joel Peterson mentions to you that he considers his grandmother as his primary caregiver and wants her as his emergency contact. From this remark, the nurse knows which is his most likely family structure? A.A blended family B.A nuclear family C.A cohabitation family D.An extended family

D. An extended family Rationale: In an extended family, a child's primary caretaker may not be a parent but an extended family member. This is not true in a blended family (in which a divorced or widowed person with children marries someone else with children) or in a nuclear family, which consists only of parents and children. Cohabitational couples are unmarried couples who may or may not have children but usually are the primary caretakers.

In counseling a couple who have experienced subfertility for 14 months, which of the following true statement does the nurse base the initial information given to them? A.Transrectal and scrotal ultrasound testing is routinely performed in the male. B.Semen analysis is usually not performed until all tests in the female partner are negative. C.Testing for tubal patency is performed during the same time period as ovulation monitoring is being done. D.Fertility testing usually begins with ovulation monitoring in the woman.

D. Fertility testing usually begins with ovulation monitoring in the woman. Rationale: Ovulation monitoring in the woman and semen analysis in the man are usually the first steps taken in fertility testing because these are the least invasive of procedures and answers two of three basic questions related to subfertility (sperm quality and available ova). Transrectal and scrotal ultrasound and checking for tubal patency are more invasive procedures and are performed if these initial tests are negative.

The primary focus of which of these phases of health care is that of education related to preventing complications? A.Health promotion B.Health maintenance C.Health restoration D.Health rehabilitation

D. Health rehabilitation Rationale: The goal of health rehabilitation is to prevent complications related to existing illness and to allow clients to achieve an optimum state of wellness. Health promotion is concerned with prevention of disease/illness and promotion of continued good health, health maintenance occurs when the client is at risk for disease/injury, and health restoration is concerned with intervention when disease/injury has occurred.

A fetus is able to maintain blood circulation in utero by the presence of circulatory shunts. The nurse understands this is because the ductus arteriosus in utero shunts blood in which direction? A.Left to right heart atria B.Aorta to the pulmonary veins C.Right ventricle to the aorta D.Pulmonary artery to the aorta

D. Pulmonary artery to the aorta Rationale: Because the fetal lungs are not inflated, blood must be diverted past them. The ductus arteriosus helps to do this by shunting blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta.

A woman with a history of fetal loss due to genetic disorders is seeking information concerning the use of amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling (CVS) during her next pregnancy. The nurse understands which to best advise? A.There are no differences in the risk of miscarriage between these tests. B.The loss of pregnancy is reduced in the CVS test because it is done earlier in the gestational period. C.The amniocentesis can safely be done anytime after the 8th week of pregnancy. D.The CVS has a higher risk of both miscarriage and fetal damage.

D. The CVS has a higher risk of miscarriage and fetal damage. Rationale: CVS is performed earlier in the pregnancy than amniocentesis and carries a higher risk of miscarriage. It also carries the risk of limb reduction syndrome in the fetus. Amniocentesis is usually carried out under ultrasound guidance after the 14th week of pregnancy, reducing the risk of miscarriage and fetal injury.

Select the assessment finding that would most likely result in a decision that home care is not an option for a child. A.Smoke detectors with outdated batteries B.The family is unfamiliar with administering total parenteral nutrition needed by the child. C.Three ants were found crawling on a kitchen counter. D.The need for the primary wage earner to become unemployed to become the primary caretaker

D. The need for the primary wage earner to become unemployed to become the primary caretaker Rationale: Loss of family income affects the entire family as well as the child needing home care. Smoke batteries can be replaced, and the family can be educated about the importance of working smoke detectors. Administering total parenteral nutrition is a skill that can be taught to the primary care provider and evaluated. The presence of ants would need to be explored further, but education related to kitchen sanitation would probably remediate the situation.

The nurse is assessing a laboring woman for pain. Which is most important for the nurse to remember? A.Pain threshold sensation can vary widely from one culture to another. B.Communication of pain is acceptable in all cultures, so she will readily tell you if she is in pain. C.Ways of expressing pain is fairly universal. D.Use of a 0 (no pain) to 10 (the most pain) scale is an objective way of assessing pain.

D. Use of a 0 (no pain) to 10 (the most pain) scale is an objective way of assessing pain. Rationale: Use of a numeric pain rating scale is an evidence-based method of objectively assessing pain for most cultures. Although pain threshold and pain tolerance can vary widely across cultures, pain threshold sensation is fairly stable. Ways of expressing pain and the acceptability of expressing pain can also vary widely across cultures.
