[Mr.Thesaxman]

An induced abortion patient calls the nurse to report postprocedure symptoms. Which of the following would not cause the nurse to request her to come into the office for care?
 
  1. Abdominal tenderness when pressure applied
  2. Chills and a fever of 101 F
  3. Return of her period in less than 6 weeks
  4. Foul-smelling vaginal discharge

Question 2

A newborn is jaundiced and is receiving phototherapy. An appropriate nursing intervention when caring for an infant with hyperbilirubinemia and receiving phototherapy is to:
 
  1. apply an oil-based lotion to the newborn's skin to prevent dying and cracking.
  2. limit the newborn's intake of milk to prevent nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
  3. place eye shields over the newborn's closed eyes.
  4. change the newborn's position every 4 hours.

Answer to Question 1

1. Incorrect. Abdominal tenderness might merit a visit to the care provider; a resumption of her normal period would not.
2. Incorrect. Chills and a fever might merit a visit to the care provider; a resumption of her normal period would not.
3. Correct. A return to her period in 4 to 6 weeks is expected.
4. Incorrect. Such a discharge might merit a visit to the care provider; a resumption of her normal period would not.

Answer to Question 2

3
1. Incorrect. Lotions and ointments should not be applied to the infant because they absorb heat, and this can cause burns.
2. Incorrect. The lights increase insensible water loss, placing the infant at risk for fluid loss and dehydration. Therefore, it is important that the infant be adequately hydrated.
3. Correct. The infant's eyes must be protected by an opaque mask to prevent overexposure to the light. Eye shields should cover the eyes completely but not occlude the nares.
4. Incorrect. The infant should be turned every 2 hours to expose all body surfaces to the light.
