An analgesic medication has been administered intramuscularly to a client in labor. How would the nurse evaluate if the medication was effective?
 
  1. The client dozes between contractions.
  2. The client is moaning during contractions.
  3. The contractions decrease in intensity.
  4. The contractions decrease in frequency.

Question 2

The nurse is explaining the nutritional differences between breast milk and formula to an expectant couple. The mother-to-be asks whether breast milk is nutritionally superior to formula. The nurse should reply that:
 
  1. The vitamins and minerals in formula are more bioavailable to the infant.
  2. There is no cholesterol in breast milk.
  3. The only carbohydrate in breast milk is lactose.
  4. The ratio of whey to casein proteins in breast milk changes to meet the nutritional needs of the growing infant.

Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. If the client dozes between contractions, the analgesic is effective. Analgesics decrease discomfort and increase relaxation.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: The vitamins and minerals in breast milk have a higher bioavailability.
Rationale 2: A small but clinically significant percentage of the fat in breast milk is from cholesterol.
Rationale 3: Lactose is the primary carbohydrate in breast milk, but there are trace amounts of other carbohydrates as well. In some formulas, lactose is the only carbohydrate.
Rationale 4: The ratio of whey to casein proteins in breast milk, unlike that in formula, is not static. It changes to meet the nutritional needs of the growing infant.
