The nurse is caring for a pregnant woman who admits to cocaine and ecstasy use on a regular basis. The patient states, “Everybody knows that alcohol is bad during pregnancy, but what’s the big deal about ecstasy?” The best response by the nurse is: “Ecstasy:
Stimulus
Answer
Choice 1 “Can cause a high fever in you and therefore cause the baby harm.”
Rationale 1High body temperature is a side effect of MDMA (ecstasy). Increased body temperature increases fetal oxygen needs, which can lead to hypoxia and subsequent brain and major organ damage.
Answer 1 true
Choice 2“Leads to deficiencies of thiamine and folic acid, which help the baby develop.”
Rationale 2Alcohol, not ecstasy, causes deficiencies of thiamine and folic acid. Folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects.
Answer 2 false
Choice 3“Produces babies with small heads and short bodies with brain function alterations.”
Rationale 3 Cocaine causes these fetal effects, not ecstasy.
Answer 3 false
Choice 4 “Produces intrauterine growth restriction and meconium aspiration.”
Rationale 4 Heroin causes these fetal effects, not ecstasy.
Answer 4 false

Question Stem
A woman’s history and appearance suggest drug abuse. The nurse’s best approach would be to:
Stimulus
Answer
Choice 1 Ask the woman directly, “Do you use any street drugs?”
Rationale 1
The best method of dealing with the patient that the nurse suspects of using drugs is to be direct and ask the question in a direct fashion without prejudice, bias, or negative body language. Lack of judgmental attitudes/body language typically results in honest answers.
Answer 1 true
Choice 2 Ask the woman if she would like to talk to a counselor.
Rationale 2 It is the responsibility of the nurse to question the patient.
Answer 2 false
Choice 3Ask some questions about over-the-counter medications and avoid the mention of illicit drugs.
Rationale 3 It is the responsibility of the nurse not to avoid the issue.
Answer 3 false
Choice 4 Explain how harmful drugs can be for her baby.
Rationale 4When talking to patients in a therapeutic manner, it is important not to be threatening or judgmental; an example of the latter behavior would be stating that the drugs will harm the baby.

Question Stem
A newly diagnosed type 1, insulin-dependent diabetic with good blood sugar control is at 20 weeks’ gestation. She asks the nurse how her diabetes will affect her baby. The best explanation would include:
Stimulus
Answer
Choice 1 “Your baby may be smaller than average at birth.”
Rationale 1Poorly controlled type 1 diabetics who have developed vascular problems will have infants who are small for gestational age (SGA) due to placental insufficiency.
Answer 1 false
Choice 2 “Your baby will probably be larger than average at birth.”
Rationale 2
The infant of a diabetic mother produces excessive amounts of insulin in response to the high blood sugar. This hyperinsulinism stimulates growth (or macrosomia) in the infant because the infant utilizes the glucose in the bloodstream.
Answer 2 true
Choice 3“As long as you control your blood sugar, your baby will not be affected at all.”
Rationale 3The demands of pregnancy will make it difficult for the best of patients to control blood sugar on a regular basis.
Answer 3 false
Choice 4 “Your baby might have high blood sugar for several days.”
Rationale 4Within minutes of delivery, the baby of an insulin-dependent diabetic can begin to have low blood sugar.

The patient at 9 weeks’ gestation has been told that her HIV test was positive. The patient is very upset and tells the nurse, “I didn’t know I had HIV! What will this do to my baby?” The nurse knows teaching has been effective when the patient states:
Stimulus
Answer
Choice 1“I cannot take the medications that control HIV during my pregnancy because they will harm the baby.”
Rationale 1Most of the medications that control HIV progression are safe to take during pregnancy. Antiretroviral medications are recommended during pregnancy to prevent perinatal transmission.
Answer 1 false
Choice 2“My baby will probably be born with anti-HIV antibodies, but that doesn’t mean it is infected.”
Rationale 2Babies of HIV-positive women or women with AIDS are born with maternal anti-HIV antibodies. These antibodies clear over time, and an accurate test can be obtained by 15 months of age.
Answer 2 true
Choice 3“The pregnancy will increase the progression of my disease and will reduce my CD4 counts.”
Rationale 3There is no evidence to indicate that pregnancy increases the progression of HIV/AIDS.
Answer 3 false
Choice 4“The HIV won’t affect my baby, and I will have a low-risk pregnancy without additional testing.”
Rationale 4 Pregnancy affected by HIV/AIDS is considered complicated, and the fetus is monitored closely. Fetal assessments include weekly nonstress tests
beginning at 32 weeks.

During her first antepartal visit, a patient who is at 10 weeks' gestation reports that she is HIV-positive. Which statement made by the patient indicates an understanding of the plan of care both during the pregnancy and postpartally?
Stimulus
Answer
Choice 1"I'm supposed to take highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but only during the first trimester."
Rationale 1
Longer duration therapy is preferable to shorter duration approaches, and it is best to start prophylaxis after the first trimester and no later than 28 weeks’ gestation in women who do not require immediate therapy for their own health.
Answer 1 false
Choice 2 "I should not breastfeed my baby."
Rationale 2HIV transmission can occur during pregnancy and through breast milk; however, it is believed that the majority of all infections occur during labor and birth.
Answer 2 true
Choice 3"If I have a cesarean section, there's an increased risk that my HIV will be passed to my baby."
Rationale 3 Cesarean section reduces the transmission of HIV from mother to infant.
Answer 3 false
Choice 4 "When my baby is 2 months old, he or she will be tested for HIV."
Rationale 4Following birth, HIV infection in infants should be diagnosed using HIV virologic assays as soon as possible, with initiation of infant antiretroviral prophylaxis immediately if the test is positive.

A woman is 32 weeks pregnant. She is HIV-positive, but asymptomatic. What would be important in managing her pregnancy and delivery?
Stimulus
Answer
Choice 1 An amniocentesis at 30 and 36 weeks
Rationale 1All invasive procedures that would expose the uninfected infant to the HIV virus are avoided.
Answer 1 false
Choice 2 Weekly nonstress testing beginning at 32 weeks’ gestation
Rationale 2
Patients who are HIV-positive are considered high-risk pregnancies. Therefore, beginning at about 32 weeks, these patients have weekly nonstress tests to assess for placental function and an ultrasound every 2–3 weeks to assess for intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR).
Answer 2 true
Choice 3Application of a fetal scalp electrode as soon as her membranes rupture in labor
Rationale 3All invasive procedures that would expose the uninfected infant to the HIV virus are avoided.
Answer 3 false
Choice 4 Administration of intravenous antibiotics during labor and delivery
Rationale 4Antibiotics would be ineffective for either the mother or the infant who was HIV-positive.

Question Stem
The nurse is reviewing prenatal charts. A patient at 24 weeks has a history of class II heart disease secondary to rheumatic fever. What would the nurse expect to see in the chart?
Stimulus
Answer
Choice 1 Dyspnea and chest pain with mild exertion
Rationale 1Dyspnea and angina with mild exertion are not expected with class II heart disease even during pregnancy, but are symptoms seen in class IV heart disease.
Answer 1 false
Choice 2 Elective cesarean birth scheduled for 37 weeks
Rationale 2Cesarean birth is only undertaken in cardiac patients for fetal or maternal intrapartal indications, not for cardiac reasons alone.
Answer 2 false
Choice 3 Discussed need for labor epidural and vacuum extraction
Rationale 3Lumbar epidural analgesia decreases the stress response during labor, while vacuum extraction or forceps decreases maternal pushing efforts. Both of these decrease stress on the heart during birth.
Answer 3 true
Choice 4 Respiratory rate 28, pulse 110, 3+ pre-tibial edema bilaterally
Rationale 43+ pre-tibial edema is never an expected finding during pregnancy. Pulse over 100 and respiratory rate over 24 are indicators of cardiac decompensation.

Question Stem
The prenatal clinic nurse has received four phone calls. Which patient should be called first?
Stimulus
Answer
Choice 1Primip at 28 weeks with history of asthma reporting difficulty breathing and shortness of breath
Rationale 1Asthma exacerbations are most common between 24 and 36 weeks. Asthma attacks can lead to maternal hypoxia, which can lead to fetal hypoxia. This patient is the top priority.
Answer 1 true
Choice 2Multip at 6 weeks with a seizure disorder inquiring what foods are good folic acid sources for her
Rationale 2Women with seizure disorders should be started on folic acid supplements prior to pregnancy, and should continue throughout pregnancy. This patient is not the highest priority.
Answer 2 false
Choice 3Primip at 35 weeks with a positive HBsAG wondering what treatment her baby will receive after birth
Rationale 3
A patient with a positive HBsAG is contagious for hepatitis B. The risk of transmission to the fetus at birth is reduced by bathing the neonate as soon as possible after birth and giving the infant immunoprophylaxis and the first HBsAG vaccine dose. The patient seeking information about what will happen after delivery is a low priority when there are pregnant patients currently experiencing physiologic problems.
Answer 3 false
Choice 4 Multip at 11 weeks with untreated hyperthyroidism describing the onset of vaginal bleeding
Rationale 4
Pregnant women with untreated hyperthyroidism have an increased risk of fetal loss. Vaginal bleeding at 11 weeks could indicate that spontaneous abortion is taking place. But the majority of spontaneous abortions prior to 12 weeks’ gestation are complete and without complications. This patient is not experiencing a normal pregnancy, but the health of both mother and fetus are not in immediate danger.

Question Stem
The patient was found to have hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAG) early in her pregnancy. The nurse is explaining to the patient what will happen during labor and birth because the patient is contagious for hepatitis B. Which statement by the patient indicates that additional teaching is needed?
Stimulus
Answer
Choice 1 “An internal fetal monitor will be applied as soon as possible during labor.”
Rationale 1 An internal fetal monitor will be avoided.
Answer 1 true
Choice 2 “My baby will get a bath as soon as its temperature is stable.”
Rationale 2
The presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAG) indicates that the patient is contagious for and capable of transmitting hepatitis B. Perinatal transmission is most likely to occur at the time of birth; thus, measures are taken to prevent exposing the fetus to the mother’s blood and body fluids and to clean the baby’s skin thoroughly of fluids as soon as possible after birth.
Answer 2 false
Choice 3 “Two shots will be given to my baby to prevent transmission of hepatitis B.”
Rationale 3A newborn of a mother with HBsAG will receive an injection of hepatitis B immune globulin and a hepatitis B vaccine injection.
Answer 3 false
Choice 4 “Breastfeeding is a good feeding method for my baby.”
Rationale 4 Breastfeeding is not contraindicated in a patient with HBsAG.
Answer 4 false
