A nurse is caring for a client who is in active labor with a fetus in the occipitoposterior position. The nurse assists the client into a hands-and-knees position. Which of the following questions should the nurse ask to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention?
- A. Does that lessen your suprapubic pain?
- B. Are you feeling relief from your pelvic pressure?
- C. Do your contractions feel further apart?
- D. Has your back labor improved?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "Has your back labor improved?" This question is appropriate because the occipitoposterior position often leads to back labor due to the baby's position pressing on the mother's spine. By asking if the back labor has improved, the nurse can assess the effectiveness of the hands-and-knees position in helping relieve pressure on the mother's back.
Choice A: "Does that lessen your suprapubic pain?" is incorrect because the hands-and-knees position is more effective for back pain relief, not suprapubic pain.
Choice B: "Are you feeling relief from your pelvic pressure?" is incorrect because the hands-and-knees position is more effective for addressing back pain, not pelvic pressure.
Choice C: "Do your contractions feel further apart?" is incorrect as the position change is unlikely to affect the timing of contractions significantly.
In summary, the correct question (Choice D) directly addresses the main issue associated with occipitoposterior

A nurse is teaching about clomiphene citrate to a client who is experiencing infertility. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse include?
- A. Breast tenderness
- B. Tinnitus
- C. Urinary frequency
- D. Chills
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Breast tenderness. Clomiphene citrate is a medication commonly used to treat infertility by inducing ovulation. Breast tenderness is a common adverse effect due to the hormonal changes it causes in the body. This is important for the nurse to include in the teaching as it helps the client anticipate and manage this side effect. Tinnitus (B), urinary frequency (C), and chills (D) are not typically associated with clomiphene citrate use and are less likely to be relevant to discuss with the client in this context.
Which of the following is a potential legal issue related to maternal and newborn healthcare?
- A. Informed consent
- B. Medical malpractice
- C. Abandonment

Choosing D is correct because all the mentioned issues are relevant to maternal and newborn healthcare legal concerns.
