Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is in the third trimester of pregnancy and has gestational diabetes. Which of the following complications is the fetus at risk for?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Gestational diabetes can result in fetal macrosomia, a condition where the baby grows larger than normal due to excess glucose in the mother's blood. This increases the risk of complications during delivery.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse providing dietary teaching for a client who is at 29 weeks of gestation and has phenylketonuria. Which of the following suggested foods should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Clients with phenylketonuria (PKU) must adhere to a strict low-phenylalanine diet to prevent neurological damage. A sliced apple and red grapes are low in phenylalanine, making them safe choices.

Question 3 of 5

A client tells the nurse that she suspects she is pregnant because she is able to feel the baby move. The nurse knows that this is a:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Quickening, or the sensation of fetal movement, is considered a presumptive sign of pregnancy. It is not definitive because other conditions, such as gas or intestinal movement, can mimic the feeling of fetal movement.

Question 4 of 5

A postpartum client's fundus is firm, 3 cm above the umbilicus and displaced to the right. Which of the following interventions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Displacement of the uterus from the midline is often a sign of bladder distention. A full bladder can prevent the uterus from contracting properly, which could increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. The nurse should assist the client to void and then reassess the position and firmness of the fundus to ensure appropriate uterine contraction.

Question 5 of 5

A client has been prescribed raloxiphine. As the nurse, you know that raloxiphine is used to treat:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Raloxiphine (Evista) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used primarily to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It helps to maintain bone density and reduce the risk of fractures by mimicking the effects of estrogen on bone tissue. It is not indicated for the treatment of migraines, hypertension, or heart disease.
