NURSING QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025 100%
CORRECT GRADE A+
Contraction stress test - ANS-FHR in response to contractions which decreases placental blood
flow
Amniocentesis - ANS-Performed after 14 weeks gestation, empty bladder beforehand, client in
supine position
High levels of AFP - ANS-Alpha-Fetoprotein is measured between 16 and 18 weeks and is used
to detect neural tube defects (anencephaly), spina bifida, and omphalocele
, 2
Essure - ANS-Insertion of agent resulting in development of scar tissue in Fallopian tubes. Not
reversible
Female sterilization - ANS-Burning or blocking the Fallopian tubes. Not reversible
Vasectomy - ANS-Ligation and severance of vas deferens. Need alternate form of birth control
for 20 ejaculations
RhoGAM - ANS-Administered at 28 weeks gestation to a mother who is Rh-negative and gives
birth to an Rh-positive infant. Recommended following an amniocentesis
Oxytocin (Pitocin) - ANS-Monitor for water intoxication (lightheaded, n/v, headache, malaise)
which can lead to cerebral edema, seizures, coma, and death. Contraindicated based on
late decelerations
3 hour glucose tolerance test - ANS-Screens for gestational diabetes and is done at 28 weeks of
gestation
Rubella titer - ANS-Obtained at initial prenatal visit (about 6 weeks gestation)
, 3
Betamethasone (Celestone) - ANS-Glucocorticoid administered IM in 2 injections 24 hr apart,
given to stimulate fetal lung maturity if early delivery is anticipated and to prevent
respiratory distress. Can cause pulmonary edema (crackles, chest pain, SOB)
Leopold Maneuver - ANS-Abdominal palpation of fetus, lie, attitude, helps nurse assess the
position of the fetus to determine the optimal placement of the fetal monitoring
transducer. Empty bladder beforehand, supine positioning
Steps of Leopold Maneuver - ANS-Palpate client's fundus, determine location of fetal back,
palpate fetal part presenting at the inlet, and palpate the cephalic prominence to identify
the attitude of the head
Ferning test - ANS-If positive, indicates rupture of membranes
Expected newborn temp - ANS-36.5-37.2
Expected newborn HR - ANS-120-160
Expected newborn RR - ANS-30-60
, 4
Expected newborn BP - ANS-60-80 S, 40-50 D
Expected newborn length - ANS-45-55 cm
Expected newborn weight - ANS-2,500-4,000 g
What is effleurage? - ANS-Client strokes abdomen using circular motion during contractions
Maternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein - ANS-Screening tool for neural tube defects that is effective
between 15 and 22 weeks. levels above indicate the need for an ultrasound
Position for transvaginal ultrasound - ANS-Lithotomy position
Diaphragm - ANS-Spermicide must be applied with each act of sexual intercourse and should
remain in place 6 hrs after. Empty bladder prior to coitus
Transdermal contraceptive patch - ANS-Patch applied to dry skin overlying subQ tissue,
excluding breast
