,Q1. A client at 28 weeks of gestation with a history of prior preterm birth is
prescribed vaginal progesterone prophylaxis. Which finding would indicate a need to
discontinue this therapy?
A. Cervical length shortening to 15 mm
B. Rupture of membranes
C. Contractions every 10 minutes
D. Fetal fibronectin positive
Correct Answer: B. Rupture of membranes
Rationale: Vaginal progesterone is contraindicated after rupture of membranes due to
increased risk of intrauterine infection. Cervical shortening or contractions are
indications for continued therapy, and a positive fetal fibronectin is a risk marker but not a
contraindication.
Why Wrong:
A - Shortening cervix is an indication for progesterone, not a reason to stop.
C - Contractions alone do not preclude progesterone use unless preterm labor is
diagnosed.
D - Positive fetal fibronectin indicates risk but does not contraindicate progesterone.
Reference: ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 234, Preterm Birth, 2021
Q2. Which medication is the first-line tocolytic for a client with preterm labor and
suspected intra-amniotic infection?
A. Nifedipine
B. Indomethacin
C. Magnesium sulfate
D. Terbutaline
Correct Answer: B. Indomethacin
Rationale: Indomethacin is preferred when infection is suspected because it does not mask
maternal tachycardia or fever, unlike beta-agonists or magnesium. It also has a rapid
onset and is effective for short-term tocolysis.
Why Wrong:
A - Nifedipine may cause hypotension and is not specifically indicated in infection.
C - Magnesium sulfate can obscure signs of infection due to its effects on maternal
status.
D - Terbutaline is a beta-agonist that can elevate maternal heart rate, masking
infection signs.
Reference: ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 171, Management of Preterm Labor, 2016

, Q3. A client with severe preeclampsia is receiving magnesium sulfate. Which clinical
finding indicates magnesium toxicity?
A. Urine output of 25 mL/hr
B. Respiratory rate of 10/min
C. Deep tendon reflexes 2+
D. Serum magnesium level of 5.5 mEq/L
Correct Answer: B. Respiratory rate of 10/min
Rationale: Respiratory depression (rate <12/min) is a sign of magnesium toxicity. Loss of
deep tendon reflexes occurs at higher levels, and oliguria is a risk factor but not a direct
sign. A serum level of 5.5 mEq/L is therapeutic.
Why Wrong:
A - Oliguria is a predisposing factor for toxicity, not a direct sign.
C - Reflexes of 2+ are normal; toxicity causes hyporeflexia.
D - 5.5 mEq/L is within the therapeutic range (4-7 mEq/L).
Reference: Cunningham, F.G., et al. Williams Obstetrics, 26th Ed., 2022
Q4. A client at 39 weeks of gestation presents with spontaneous rupture of
membranes and is positive for group B Streptococcus. She is in active labor. Which
prescription should the nurse implement first?
A. Start intravenous penicillin G 5 million units, then 2.5 million units every 4 hours
B. Obtain a baseline fetal heart rate tracing for 20 minutes
C. Insert an indwelling urinary catheter
D. Administer an oxytocin infusion for augmentation
Correct Answer: B. Obtain a baseline fetal heart rate tracing for 20 minutes
Rationale: The priority is to assess fetal well-being with a continuous fetal heart rate
tracing before any other intervention. Antibiotics are important but not the first action;
catheterization and oxytocin are not immediate priorities.
Why Wrong:
A - Antibiotics are crucial but fetal assessment takes precedence.
C - Catheterization is not urgent and may be avoided if delivery is imminent.
D - Oxytocin is only indicated if labor is inadequate after fetal assessment.

Early-Onset Disease, 2020
Q5. A client with gestational diabetes mellitus at 38 weeks of gestation is in labor. Her
blood glucose is 110 mg/dL. What is the nurse's priority action?
A. Start an insulin drip
B. Administer 5% dextrose in lactated Ringer's
