SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1–100
Question 1
A nurse is caring for a postpartum patient who experienced hemorrhage 2 hours after delivery. The patient's
blood pressure is 88/52 mmHg, heart rate is 128 bpm, and she reports feeling dizzy. Which intervention should
the nurse implement FIRST?
, A. Administer oxytocin 40 units in 1000 mL IV fluid
B. Locate and massage the uterine fundus
C. Insert a second 18-gauge IV catheter
D. Obtain vital signs every 15 minutes
🟢 Correct answer: B
🔴 RATIONALE: Uterine massage is the FIRST intervention for postpartum hemorrhage because it directly
addresses uterine atony, the most common cause. Massaging the fundus stimulates contraction and reduces
bleeding immediately. While oxytocin, IV access, and monitoring are important, they follow after initiating
uterine massage.
Question 2
A patient with schizophrenia is experiencing auditory hallucinations and reports that "voices are telling me to
hurt myself." Which nursing intervention is MOST appropriate?
A. Tell the patient the voices are not real
B. Stay with the patient and maintain constant observation
C. Ask the patient to describe what the voices are saying
D. Administer benztropine 1 mg PO
🟢 Correct answer: B
