According to the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, abortion is legal if induced:
 
  1. At a federally funded clinic.
  2. Before the period of viability.
  3. To provide tissue for therapeutic research.
  4. At a military hospital overseas.

Question 2

The nurse is caring for a patient who has delivered her first child. The patient states, My mother said that I have to have a bowel movement before I can go home, but my girlfriend said that isn't true anymore. What caused this change?
 
  Which response by the nurse is best?
  1. Doctors just want patients to go home sooner these days.
  2. It really doesn't matter. Don't worry about it.
  3. Research indicates it is normal for bowel function to slow for a few days.
  4. We used to give all patients laxatives, but now they cost too much.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: At a federally funded clinic, abortions can be provided legally if under United States laws.
Rationale 2: Abortion can be performed legally until the period of viability; after viability, the rights of the fetus take precedence.
Rationale 3: Abortion cannot be used to provide tissue for therapeutic research.
Rationale 4: At a military hospital overseas, abortions can be provided legally if under United States laws.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Cost containment and managed care are the driving forces behind some changes in care compared to a generation ago, not physician preference.
Rationale 2: Always address a patient's questions and avoid saying don't worry about it to keep communication therapeutic.
Rationale 3: Evidence-based practice is the use of research findings to guide nursing actions, policies, and procedures. Often research findings contradict care that used to be the norm, leading to changes in policies and procedures.
Rationale 4: Although laxatives are low-cost medications, there is no evidence indicating that all patients should receive them after childbirth. The evidence indicates that bowel function slows slightly after birth and normally resumes in a few days.
