"I should avoid drinking orange juice.”.

"I need to eat foods high in fiber.”.

"I should take my iron with milk.”.

"I'll call the primary care provider if my stool is black and tarry.”.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale:

Orange juice enhances iron absorption and should not be avoided.

Choice B rationale:

Eating foods high in fiber can prevent constipation, a side effect of iron supplements.

Choice C rationale:

Iron should not be taken with milk as it inhibits iron absorption.

Choice D rationale:

Black, tarry stools are a common side effect of iron supplements and are not usually a concern.

So, the correct answer is B. “I need to eat foods high in fiber.”.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Checking for a compressed umbilical cord is important as it can cause fetal distress. However, it’s not the first step in response to abnormal EFM tracing.

Choice B rationale:

Preparing for an emergency cesarean birth might be necessary if the abnormality persists and indicates fetal distress. But it’s not the immediate first step.

Choice C rationale:

Documenting the finding is part of the nursing process, but immediate interventions to address the abnormality take precedence.

Choice D rationale:

Helping the woman change positions can relieve pressure on the umbilical cord, potentially resolving the abnormality. This is often the first intervention.

A. Face. B. Shoulder. C. Occiput. D. Buttocks.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

The face as the presenting part is not indicated by LSA. LSA stands for Left Sacrum Anterior, which indicates the baby’s position in the womb.

Choice B rationale:

The shoulder as the presenting part is not indicated by LSA. LSA refers to the baby’s position, not the presenting part.

Choice C rationale:

The occiput as the presenting part is not indicated by LSA. LSA refers to the baby’s position, not the presenting part.

Choice D rationale:

The buttocks as the presenting part is indicated by LSA. LSA (Left Sacrum Anterior) means the baby’s sacrum (buttocks) is presenting, and it is oriented to the mother’s left side and is facing forward (anterior).
