NCLEX-RN Exam Questions - Part 43
1. At 32 weeks - gestation, a client is scheduled for a fetal activity test (nonstress test). She calls the clinic and asks the RN, 'How do I prepare for the test I am scheduled for?' The RN will most likely inform her of the following instructions to help prepare her for the test:
A) 'You need to know that an IV is always started before the test.'
B) 'You will need to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water to fill your bladder.'
C) 'Do not eat any food or drink any liquids before the test is started.'
D) 'You will have to remain as still as you possibly can.'
2. After the fetal activity test (nonstress test) is completed, the RN is looking at the test results on the monitor strip. The RN observes that the fetal heart accelerated5 beats/min with each fetal movement. The accelerations lasted 15 seconds and occurred 3 times during the 20- minute test. The RN knows that these test results will be interpreted as:
A) A reactive test
B) A nonreactive test
C) An unsatisfactory test
D) A negative test
3. At 38 weeks gestation, a client is in active labor. She is using her Lamaze breathing techniques. The RN is coaching her breathing and encouraging her to relax and work with her contractions. Which one of the following complaints by the client will alert the RN that she is beginning to hyperventilate with her breathing?
A) 'I am cold.'
B) 'I have a backache.'
C) 'I feel dizzy.'
D) 'I am nauseous.'
4. After performing a sterile vaginal exam on a client who has just been admitted to the unit in active labor and placed on an electronic fetal monitor, the RN assesses that the fetal head is at 21 station. She documents this on the monitor strip. Fetal head at 21 station means that the fetal head is located where in the pelvis?
A) One centimeter below the ischial spines
B) One centimeter above the ischial spines
C) Has not entered the pelvic inlet yet
D) Located in the pelvic outlet
5. A client has been admitted to the labor and delivery unit in active labor. After assessing her, the RN notes that the clients fetus position is left occipital posterior.Which of the following statements best describes what this means to the labor process:
A) Decreases the overall time of the labor process
B) Prolongs the client - s first stage of labor
C) Decreases the time of the client - s first stage of labor
D) Prolongs the client - s third stage of labor
A) 'You need to know that an IV is always started before the test.'
B) 'You will need to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water to fill your bladder.'
C) 'Do not eat any food or drink any liquids before the test is started.'
D) 'You will have to remain as still as you possibly can.'

1. Right Answer: D
Explanation: (A) An IV line is not started in a nonstress test, because this test is used as an indicator of fetal well-being. This test measures fetal activity and heart rate acceleration. (B) The bladder does not have to be full prior to this test. It is not a sonogram test where a full bladder enables other structures to be scanned. (C) It has been proved that eating or drinking liquids prior to the test can assist in increasing fetal activity. (D) Any maternal activity will interfere with the results of the test.
2. Right Answer: A
Explanation: (A) A nonstress test that shows at least two accelerations of the fetal heart rate of 15 bpm with fetal activity, lasting 15 seconds over a 20-minute period. (B)Reactive criteria are not met. The accelerations of the fetal heart rate are not at least 15 bpm and do not last 15 seconds. This could mean fetal well-being is compromised. Usually a contraction stress test is ordered if the nonstress test results are negative. (C) An unsatisfactory test means the data cannot be interpreted, or there was inadequate fetal activity. If this happens, usually the test is ordered to be done at a later date. (D) A negative test is a term used to describe the results of a contraction stress test.
3. Right Answer: C
Explanation: (A) Cold is not a symptom of hyperventilation. This could be due to the temperature of the room. (B) Backache is not a symptom of hyperventilation. This is probably due to the gravid uterus and its effect on the back muscles, or it may be due to the clients position in bed. (C) Dizziness is the first symptom of hyperventilation. It occurs because the body is eliminating too much CO2. (D) Nausea is not a symptom of hyperventilation. It could be a symptom of pain.
4. Right Answer: B
Explanation: (A) The ischial spines are located on both sides of the midpelvis. These spines mark the diameter of the narrowest part of the pelvis that the fetus will encounter.They are not sharp protrusions that will harm the fetus. Station refers to the relationship between the ischial spines in the pelvis and the fetus. The ischial spines are designated at 0 station. If the presenting part of the fetus is located above the ischial spines, a negative number is assigned, noting the number of centimeters above the ischial spines. Therefore, 1 centimeter below the ischial spines is designated as +1 station. (B) See explanation in A. One centimeter above the ischial spines is designated as +1 station. (C) The pelvic inlet is the first part of the pelvis that the fetus enters in routine delivery. The midpelvis is the second part of the pelvis to be entered by the fetus. The ischial spines are located on both sides of the midpelvis. (D) The pelvic outlet is the last part of the pelvis that the fetus will enter. When the fetus reaches this part of the pelvis, birth is near.
5. Right Answer: B
Explanation: (A) Posterior position causes a larger diameter of the fetal head to enter the pelvis than an anterior position. Pressure on the sacral nerves is increased, and it takes the fetus a longer time to enter the pelvic inlet. (B) This position will prolong the first stage of labor. When the larger diameter of the fetal head enters the pelvis first, it will have a more difficult time accommodating to the pelvis; therefore, it will take a longer time for the fetus to move through the pelvis. (C) It will increase the time of labor because the larger diameter of the fetal head will have a more difficult time accommodating to the pelvic inlet and thus will move through the pelvis slower. (D) In the third stage of labor the placenta is delivered; therefore, the infant has been delivered.
