1. A nurse is observing bonding between a client and her newborn. Which of the
following actions by the client requires the nurse to intervene? a) Holding the
newborn in a face-to-face position
b) Asking the father to change the newborn’s diaper
c) Requesting the nurse take the newborn to the nursery so she can rest
d) Viewing the newborn’s actions as uncooperative (Correct Answer: d)
Rationale: Viewing the newborn’s actions as uncooperative suggests a lack of understanding of
newborn behavior and may indicate difficulty with bonding. Newborns are incapable of
intentional defiance, and such a perception may require further assessment and intervention.
2. A nurse is planning discharge teaching for cord care for the parent of a newborn.
Which instruction should be included in the teaching? a) Contact the provider if the cord
turns black
b) Clean the base of the cord with hydrogen peroxide daily
c) Keep the cord dry until it falls off (Correct Answer: c)
d) The cord stump will fall off in five days
Rationale: Keeping the cord dry promotes natural healing and helps prevent infection. The cord
typically turns black as it dries, which is a normal finding. Hydrogen peroxide is no longer
recommended as it can delay healing.
3. A nurse is assessing a client in the PACU. Which of the following findings indicates
decreased cardiac output? a) Shivering
b) Oliguria (Correct Answer: b)
c) Bradypnea
d) Constricted pupils
Rationale: Oliguria (low urine output) is a sign of decreased cardiac output because less blood is
being perfused to the kidneys. This can indicate hypovolemia or decreased cardiac efficiency,
requiring further assessment and intervention.
