A nurse is providing nutritional guidance to a parent of a newborn.
Which statement by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

I should start giving solid foods to my baby when they are 3 months old.

I should wait until my baby is 4 months old to begin fluoride supplements.

I should wait to give fruit juice until my baby is 6 months old.

I should introduce cow’s milk when my baby is 9 months old.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale
Introducing solid foods to a baby at 3 months old is not recommended. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life.
Choice B rationale
The American Dental Association recommends that a child is at least 6 months old before they start using fluoride supplements, and only if the child is at high risk for tooth decay and the primary drinking water source is deficient in fluoride.
Choice C rationale
Waiting to give fruit juice until a baby is 6 months old is a correct practice. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that fruit juice should not be introduced into the diet of infants before 6 months of age.
Choice D rationale
Introducing cow’s milk when a baby is 9 months old is not recommended. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against introducing cow’s milk until a child is 12 months old.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Rh(D) immunoglobulin prevents the formation of Rh antibodies in mothers who are Rh negative. If an Rh-negative mother is exposed to Rh-positive blood, as can happen during pregnancy or childbirth, her immune system may respond by making antibodies against the Rh antigen. This can cause problems in future pregnancies if the baby is Rh positive. Rh(D) immunoglobulin works by preventing the mother’s immune system from recognizing the Rh antigen, thus preventing the formation of antibodies.
Choice B rationale
Rh(D) immunoglobulin does not destroy Rh antibodies in mothers who are Rh negative. Once antibodies have formed, they cannot be destroyed by Rh(D) immunoglobulin.
Choice C rationale
Rh(D) immunoglobulin does not prevent the formation of Rh antibodies in newborns who are Rh positive. The purpose of Rh(D) immunoglobulin is to prevent the mother from forming Rh antibodies.
Choice D rationale
Rh(D) immunoglobulin does not destroy Rh antibodies in newborns who are Rh positive. The purpose of Rh(D) immunoglobulin is to prevent the mother from forming Rh antibodies.

A. Encourage the client to perform Kegel exercises. B. Assist the client to the bathroom to void. C. Ask the client to rate her pain. D. Encourage the client to move to the left lateral position.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Encouraging the client to perform Kegel exercises can help strengthen pelvic floor muscles, but it does not address the immediate problem of a displaced and boggy uterus.
Choice B rationale
Assisting the client to the bathroom to void is the correct action. A full bladder can displace the uterus and prevent it from contracting properly, which can lead to uterine atony and increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
Choice C rationale
Asking the client to rate her pain is important, but it does not address the immediate problem of a displaced and boggy uterus.
Choice D rationale
Encouraging the client to move to the left lateral position can improve venous return and cardiac output, but it does not address the immediate problem of a displaced and boggy uterus
