Do you know the answers to these?

[jessjoy]

I am a student and I just took my RN assessment exit exam today. Two OB questions really got me and I couldn't find the answers to them in my books. I know you guys are the experts.

Question one: What are the complications for a client who experienced fear and anxiety during her pregnancy?

a. under/overeating

b. eclampsia

c. labor complications

d. post-term baby

Question two: A client is 36 weeks pregnant and tells the nurse she has experiences contractions after having an orgasm after intercourse (weird question, I know) The nurse's most appropriate response is:

a. Small contractions may occur for 3-4 hours after sex

b. One long mild contraction may occur after sex.

I dont remember the other answers. Thanks so much for the help!

jessoy, I had an A&P instructor, who gave us weekly quizzes on lecture and lab. While he was lecturing everything was fine, but the quizzes REALLY knocked people down. I was an A student ,who never studied, until I got to his class. Some of the questions required pure memorization, but to answer others one had to apply cirtical thinking and elimination. Apparently, he tried to "prepare" us for the clinicals. Now i see he was right, even though i was ticked off at him for asking trick quesitons.

Hmmm... that's interesting. While I agree that 36 wk babies should be (and I guess are) considered preterm, I have certainly found a wide variety of practice in regards to this issue in the different places I have worked. I think I will start another thread on this topic because I am interested to see what goes on elsewhere.

Thanks for the input.
