A nurse is discussing the use of

condoms with a female client. Which of

the following statements by client

represents a need for further teaching?

Select one:

a. "My partner will put the condom on

while his penis is erect."

b. "I will remove the condom 30 minutes

be held in place while the penis is

withdrawn from the vagina.

A client reports awaking from sleep by

contractions that are occurring every

five minutes and lasting 30-40 seconds.

Which of the following questions should

the nurse ask to assess for true labor

versus false labor?

Select one:

a. "When did your contractions begin?"

b. "Have you noticed any bloody show

or fluid coming from your vagina?"

c. "What happens to your contractions

when you move about?"

d. "Have you felt fetal movement over

the last 24 hours?"

b. "Have you noticed any bloody show

or fluid coming from your vagina?"

Vaginal discharge of blood or fluid may

indicate cervical dilation, and potentially

rupture of membranes. False labor is

characterized by painless, irregular, and

intermittent contractions that decrease

in frequency, duration, and intensity

with walking or position changes.

Contractions are felt in the lower back

or above the umbilicus and often stop

with comfort measures (like oral

hydration). There is usually no vaginal

discharge with false labor.
