Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: There is no reason for the client to have a pregnancy test done at this time.
Rationale 2: If the client is unable to remember to take her contraceptive pills, then the nurse should educate her on alternative forms of birth control, but this is not the most immediate issue.
Rationale 3: . The client could become pregnant if she misses less than three of her pills, so this incorrect advice.
Rationale 4: If more than one pill is missed, the medication will not be effective and conception could occur, so the client must use an alternative form of birth control for the rest of her current cycle.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The headache could indicate hyponatremia (water intoxication) due to the effects of oxytocin (Pitocin); the client should be assessed for fluid balance.
Rationale 2: The infusion should not be stopped when the client enters transition.
Rationale 3: Contractions that are strong in intensity are no reason to stop the infusion.
Rationale 4: Uterine contractions every 2 to 3 minutes and lasting 40 to 60 seconds are expected with induction of labor.
