A nurse is caring for a client following a vaginal delivery of a term fetal demise. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

"You can bathe and dress your baby if you'd like to.”.

"I'm sure you will be able to have another baby when you're ready.”.

"If you don't hold the baby, it will make letting go much harder.”.

"You should name the baby so she can have an identity.”.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

Choice A rationale:
Offering the parents the opportunity to bathe and dress their baby can provide a sense of normalcy and closure.
Choice B rationale:
This statement assumes the client wants to have another baby and that they will be able to do so, which may not be the case.
Choice C rationale:
It’s important to allow the parents to grieve in their own way. Some may find holding the baby helpful, while others may not.
Choice D rationale:
While naming the baby can provide an identity, it should be the parents’ decision.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
Droplet precautions are used for diseases or germs that are spread in tiny droplets caused by coughing and sneezing (examples: pneumonia, influenza, whooping cough, bacterial meningitis). This is not the case with Clostridium difficile.
Choice B rationale:
Airborne precautions are used for diseases or germs that are spread through the air (examples: tuberculosis, measles, chickenpox). This is not the case with Clostridium difficile.
Choice C rationale:
A protective environment is a room designed to reduce the risk of infections from airborne, droplet, and contact transmissions. It’s typically for patients who have undergone stem cell transplants. This is not necessary for Clostridium difficile.
Choice D rationale:
Contact precautions are used for diseases or germs that are spread by touching the patient or items in the room (examples: MRSA, VRE, diarrheal illnesses, open wounds). Clostridium difficile is spread via contact, hence contact precautions are appropriate.

A. The client urinates 30 mL/hr. B. The client does not feel the urge to urinate. C. The uterine fundus is 2 cm above the umbilicus. D. The bladder is distended upon palpation.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
Urinating 30 mL/hr is correct. This is within the normal urinary output range of 30 to 60 mL/hr, indicating effective voiding.
Choice B rationale:
Not feeling the urge to urinate is incorrect. This could indicate urinary retention, not effective voiding.
Choice C rationale:
A uterine fundus 2 cm above the umbilicus is incorrect. This is unrelated to the client’s ability to void effectively.
Choice D rationale:
A distended bladder upon palpation is incorrect. This could suggest urinary retention, not effective voiding.
