Which diagnostic test allows visualization of the renal parenchyma and renal pelvis without
exposure to
external beam radiation or radioactive isotopes?
a. Renal ultrasound c. Intravenous pyelography
b. Computed tomography d. Voiding cystourethrography - Answer ✓✓ANS: A
The transmission of ultrasonic waves through the renal parenchyma allows visualization of
the renal
parenchyma and renal pelvis without exposure to external beam radiation or radioactive
isotopes. Computed
tomography uses external radiation, and sometimes contrast media are used. Intravenous
pyelography uses
contrast medium and external radiation for x-ray films. Contrast medium is injected into the
bladder through
the urethral opening for voiding cystourethrography. External radiation for x-ray films is used
before, during, and after voiding.

After giving birth to a healthy infant boy, a primiparous woman, 16 years old, is admitted to
the postpartum
unit. An appropriate nursing diagnosis for her at this time is Risk for impaired parenting
related to deficient
knowledge of newborn care. In planning for the womans discharge, what should the nurse be
certain to include
in the plan of care?
a. Instruct the patient how to feed and bathe her infant.
b. Give the patient written information on bathing her infant.
c. Advise the patient that all mothers instinctively know how to care for their infants.
d. Provide time for the patient to bathe her infant after she views an infant bath
demonstration. - Answer ✓✓ANS: D
Having the mother demonstrate infant care is a valuable method of assessing the clients
understanding of her
newly acquired knowledge, especially in this age group, because she may inadvertently
neglect her child. Although verbalizing how to care for the infant is a form of patient
education, it is not the most
developmentally appropriate teaching for a teenage mother. Advising the patient that all
mothers instinctively
know how to care for their infants is an inappropriate statement; it is belittling and false.
The nurse observes several interactions between a postpartum woman and her new son.
What behavior, if
exhibited by this woman, would the nurse identify as a possible maladaptive behavior
regarding parent-infant
attachment?
a. Talks and coos to her son
b. Seldom makes eye contact with her son

, NUR2513 MATERNAL CHILD EXAM 2
c. Cuddles her son close to her
d. Tells visitors how well her son is feeding - Answer ✓✓ANS: B
The woman should be encouraged to hold her infant in the en face position and make eye
contact with the
infant. Normal infant-parent interactions include talking and cooing to her son, cuddling her
son close to her, and telling visitors how well her son is feeding
Which problem is most often associated with myelomeningocele?
a. Hydrocephalus
b. Craniosynostosis
c. Biliary atresia
d. Esophageal atresia - Answer ✓✓ANS: A
Hydrocephalus is an associated anomaly in 80% to 90% of children. Craniosynostosis is the
premature closing
of the cranial sutures and is not associated with myelomeningocele. Biliary and esophageal
atresias are not
associated with myelomeningocele.
Spastic cerebral palsy is characterized by:
a. Hypertonicity and poor control of posture, balance, and coordinated motion.
b. Athetosis and dystonic movements.
c. Wide-based gait and poor performance of rapid, repetitive movements.
d. Tremors and lack of active movement. - Answer ✓✓ANS: A
Hypertonicity and poor control of posture, balance, and coordinated motion are part of the
classification of
spastic cerebral palsy. Athetosis and dystonic movements are part of the classification of
dyskinetic/athetoid

cerebral palsy. Wide-based gait and poor performance of rapid, repetitive movements are
part of the
classification of ataxic cerebral palsy. Tremors and lack of active movement may indicate
other neurologic
disorders.
The parents of a child with cerebral palsy ask the nurse if any drugs can decrease their childs
spasticity. The
nurses response should be based on knowing that:
a. Anticonvulsant medications are sometimes useful for controlling spasticity.
b. Medications that would be useful in reducing spasticity are too toxic for use with children.
c. Many different medications can be highly effective in controlling spasticity.
d. Implantation of a pump to deliver medication into the intrathecal space to decrease
spasticity has
recently become available - Answer ✓✓ANS: D
Baclofen given intrathecally is best suited for children with severe spasticity that interferes
with activities of
daily living and ambulation. Anticonvulsant medications are used when seizures occur in
children with
cerebral palsy. The intrathecal route decreases the side effects of the drugs that reduce
spasticity. Few
medications are presently available for the control of spasticity.
The most common problem of children born with a myelomeningocele is:
a. Neurogenic bladder
b. Intellectual impairment.
c. Respiratory compromise.
