PRACTICE QUESTIONS 60 ITEMS
,Question 1 Case-Based Clinical Judgment Difficult
At 34 weeks, a client has BP 168/112, severe headache, visual changes, and RUQ pain.
Priority?
A. Immediate evaluation for severe preeclampsia and seizure precautions as
indicated
B. Routine prenatal teaching
C. Ambulation
D. Iron supplementation
CORRECT ANSWER: A. Immediate evaluation for severe preeclampsia and seizure
precautions as indicated
RATIONALE: The best answer is Immediate evaluation for severe preeclampsia and
seizure precautions as indicated because it reflects the priority nursing response or key
maternal-newborn concept described.
WHY THE OTHER OPTIONS ARE WRONG:
B — Routine prenatal teaching is less appropriate because it does not best satisfy the clinical
priority or tested principle.
C — Ambulation is less appropriate because it does not best satisfy the clinical priority or
tested principle.
D — Iron supplementation is less appropriate because it does not best satisfy the clinical
priority or tested principle.
TESTED CONCEPT CLINICAL JUDGMENT
Preeclampsia Identify the maternal or fetal cue, determine
the immediate risk, and select the safest
evidence-based action.
CONTENT AREA: Antepartum assessment
, Question 2 Multiple Choice Moderate
Painless bright-red bleeding at 32 weeks requires:
A. Avoiding digital vaginal examination until placenta location is known
B. Immediate digital examination
C. Ambulation
D. Tampon insertion
CORRECT ANSWER: A. Avoiding digital vaginal examination until placenta location is
known
RATIONALE: The best answer is Avoiding digital vaginal examination until placenta
location is known because it reflects the priority nursing response or key maternal-
newborn concept described.
WHY THE OTHER OPTIONS ARE WRONG:
B — Immediate digital examination is less appropriate because it does not best satisfy the
clinical priority or tested principle.
C — Ambulation is less appropriate because it does not best satisfy the clinical priority or
tested principle.
D — Tampon insertion is less appropriate because it does not best satisfy the clinical priority
or tested principle.
TESTED CONCEPT CLINICAL JUDGMENT
Placenta previa Identify the maternal or fetal cue, determine
the immediate risk, and select the safest
evidence-based action.
