  a. Cervical cancer c. Uterine cancer
  b. Vaginal infections d. Ovarian cancer

Question 2

The nurse providing care for a woman with preterm labor on terbutaline would include which intervention to identify side effects of the drug?
 
  a. Assessing deep tendon reflexes (DTRs)
  b. Assessing for dyspnea and crackles
  c. Assessing for bradycardia

Answer to Question 1

A
The PAP smear is the primary screening tool for cervical cancer. A PAP smear does not diagnose vaginal, uterine, or ovarian cancer.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Terbutaline is a 2-adrenergic agonist that affects the cardiopulmonary and me-tabolic systems of the mother. Assessing DTRs would not address these con-cerns.
B Terbutaline is a 2-adrenergic agonist that affects the cardiopulmonary and me-tabolic systems of the mother. Signs of cardiopulmonary decompensation would include adventitious breath sounds and dyspnea.
C Terbutaline is a 2-adrenergic agonist that affects the cardiopulmonary and me-tabolic systems of the mother. 2-Adrenergic agonist drugs cause tachycardia, not bradycardia.
D Terbutaline is a 2-adrenergic agonist that affects the cardiopulmonary and me-tabolic systems of the mother. The metabolic effect leads to hyperglycemia, not hypoglycemia.
