"I should expect to have up to 12 treatments."

"I should expect this treatment to cure my illness."

"I will receive an antianxiety medication during the treatments."

"I will wake up 2 hours after the treatment."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

Choice A rationale:

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is typically administered as a series of treatments, often ranging from 6 to 12 sessions, to achieve optimal therapeutic effects.

Choice B rationale:

ECT can provide relief from severe depressive symptoms, but it is not necessarily considered a "cure" for depression.

Choice C rationale:

ECT is not usually accompanied by antianxiety medication during the treatments.

Choice D rationale:

Recovery from ECT typically occurs within minutes after the treatment, not after 2 hours.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Placing the newborn under a radiant warmer is not directly related to addressing breastfeeding-related jaundice.

Choice B rationale:

Supplementing breastfeeding with formula is not the first-line approach and may interfere with establishing successful breastfeeding.

Choice C rationale:

Breastfeeding-related jaundice can occur if the newborn is not effectively breastfeeding and not getting enough milk. Assessing the effectiveness of breastfeeding is important to address the underlying cause of jaundice.

Choice D rationale:

Administering Rho(D) immune globulin is unrelated to addressing jaundice in a breastfed newborn.

A. WBC count 12.000/mm3 B. History of asthma C. Hgb 11.2 g/dL. D. Blood pressure 154/98 mm Hg

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

A slightly elevated WBC count is not a contraindication for the administration of methylergonovine.

Choice B rationale:

Methylergonovine can cause vasoconstriction and bronchoconstriction, which can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Therefore, a history of asthma is a contraindication for its use.

Choice C rationale:

Hgb of 11.2 g/dL is within an acceptable range and not a contraindication for methylergonovine.

Choice D rationale:

Blood pressure of 154/98 mm Hg is elevated, but it is not a contraindication for the administration of methylergonovine.
