The nurse discovers a new prescription for RhoGAM for a client who is about to undergo a diagnostic procedure.

The nurse will administer the RhoGAM after which procedure?

Amniocentesis.

Biophysical Profile.

Contraction stress test.

Nonstress test.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

This is a diagnostic procedure that involves inserting a needle into the uterus to obtain a sample of amniotic fluid for testing.
This procedure can cause a small amount of fetal blood to enter the maternal circulation, which can trigger an immune response in Rh-negative women carrying Rh-positive fetuses.
RhoGAM is a medication that contains antibodies against the Rh factor and prevents the mother from developing her own antibodies that could harm the fetus or future pregnancies.
RhoGAM should be given within 72 hours after amniocentesis to Rh-negative women who are not already sensitized2.
Choice B.
Biophysical Profile is incorrect, as this is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure that involves ultrasound and fetal heart rate monitoring to assess fetal well-being.
This procedure does not cause fetomaternal hemorrhage and does not require RhoGAM administration.
Choice C.
The contraction stress test is incorrect, as this is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure that involves inducing uterine contractions and monitoring fetal heart rate response to assess fetal oxygenation.
This procedure does not cause fetomaternal hemorrhage and does not require RhoGAM administration.
Choice D.
A nonstress test is incorrect, as this is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure that involves monitoring fetal heart rate and movement to assess fetal well-being.
This procedure does not cause fetomaternal hemorrhage and does not require RhoGAM administration.
Therefore, choice A is the best answer to this question.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

B. This is the vaccine for hepatitis B, a viral infection that can cause liver damage and cancer.
The CDC recommends that all newborns receive the first dose of this vaccine within 24 hours of birth, followed by two more doses at 1 to 2 months and 6 to 18 months of age.
Choice A.
MMR is incorrect, as this is the vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella, which is not given at birth but at 12 to 15 months and 4 to 6 years of age.
Choice B.
Varicella is incorrect, as this is the vaccine for chickenpox, which is also not given at birth but at 12 to 15 months and 4 to 6 years of age.
Choice C.
DTaP is incorrect, as this is the vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough), which is not given at birth but at 2, 4, 6, and 15 to 18 months and 4 to 6 years of age.
Therefore, choice D is the best answer to this question.

A. The child is not attempting to move her right arm or fingers. B. The fingertips of the right hand are swollen and bruised. C. The fingers on the right hand have a capillary refill of 4 seconds. D. The parent reports the child will not keep the arm elevated on the pillow.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A nurse caring for a toddler who had a cast applied 2 hours ago due to multiple fractures of the right hand should report immediately to the charge nurse if the fingers on the right hand have a capillary refill of 4 seconds.
This could indicate that there is a problem with circulation.
Choice A is not an answer because it is not unusual for a child to not attempt to move her right arm or fingers after having a cast applied.
Choice B is not an answer because it is not unusual for the fingertips of the right hand to be swollen and bruised after having a cast applied.
Choice D is not an answer because it is not unusual for a child to not keep their arm elevated on a pillow after having a cast applied.
