Q1 Question 1 of 50
A 26-year-old primigravida at 8 weeks gestation presents for her first prenatal visit. Her last menstrual
period began on March 5. Using Naegele's rule, what is her estimated date of confinement?
A. December 5 of the same year
B. December 12 of the same year
C. November 28 of the same year
D. January 5 of the following year
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Naegele's rule adds 7 days to the first day of the LMP and subtracts 3 months, giving December 12.
December 5 omits the 7-day addition, while January 5 incorrectly subtracts only 2 months.
Q2 Question 2 of 50
A 28-year-old woman at 24 weeks gestation is scheduled for routine gestational diabetes screening.
After drinking a 50-gram glucose solution, her one-hour serum glucose is 145 mg/dL. What is the
nurse's most appropriate action?
A. Diagnose gestational diabetes and start insulin therapy immediately
B. Repeat the one-hour screen in one week to confirm the result
C. Schedule a three-hour 100-gram oral glucose tolerance test
D. Reassure the patient that the result is within normal limits
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
A one-hour screen result of 140 mg/dL or higher requires a confirmatory three-hour 100-gram glucose
tolerance test, because the screen alone cannot diagnose gestational diabetes.

Q3 Question 3 of 50
A 32-year-old primigravida at 30 weeks gestation presents to triage with a blood pressure of 152/96
mmHg, a frontal headache, and blurred vision. Her urine dipstick shows 2+ proteinuria. Which finding
requires the most immediate nurse intervention?
A. Blood pressure of 152/96 mmHg
B. Heart rate of 88 beats per minute
C. Frontal headache and visual disturbance
D. 2+ urine proteinuria on dipstick
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Central nervous system symptoms such as headache and visual disturbance signal severe preeclampsia
with impending eclampsia, the most urgent finding. Proteinuria and hypertension are part of the diagnosis but
are less immediately threatening than impending seizure activity.
Q4 Question 4 of 50
A newly pregnant 22-year-old asks the nurse when she should begin taking folic acid supplements to
prevent neural tube defects. The nurse explains that supplementation is most critical during which time
period?
A. Throughout the third trimester only
B. From conception through the first 8 weeks of pregnancy
C. Beginning at 20 weeks gestation
D. Only during the second trimester
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
The neural tube closes by gestational day 28, before many women know they are pregnant, so folic acid
must be taken before conception and through the first 8 weeks. Later supplementation does not prevent
neural tube defects.
