A nurse in a provider's office is reviewing the medical record of a client who is requesting a diaphragm. Which of the following findings in the client's history should the nurse identify as a contraindication for this type of contraception?
Deep-vein thrombosis.
Tobacco use.
Recurrent urinary tract infections.
History of positive group B streptococcus B-hemolytic.
The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale
Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is a contraindication for diaphragm use due to the increased risk of thromboembolic events with estrogen-based contraceptives.
Choice B rationale
Tobacco use, although a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is not a direct contraindication for diaphragm use, which is a non-hormonal contraceptive method.
Choice C rationale
Recurrent urinary tract infections are a contraindication for diaphragm use due to the risk of infection exacerbation from device insertion.
Choice D rationale
History of positive group B streptococcus B-hemolytic is not a contraindication for diaphragm use; it typically relates to pregnancy and neonatal infection risk.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Positioning the newborn's car seat at a 45° angle helps to maintain an open airway and reduces the risk of the baby's head falling forward, which can obstruct breathing.
Choice B rationale
Placing the car seat in a forward-facing position is incorrect for a newborn. Newborns and infants should always be placed in a rear-facing car seat to protect their head, neck, and spine in the event of a crash.
Choice C rationale
Placing a rolled blanket behind the newborn's neck is not recommended as it can alter the position of the head and neck, potentially compromising the airway. Proper positioning is crucial to ensure safety and comfort.
Choice D rationale
The retainer clip should be positioned at the level of the newborn's armpits, not the umbilicus. Proper placement of the retainer clip ensures that the harness is secure and reduces the risk of injury in a collision.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
This finding indicates fetal distress. Recurrent variable decelerations in the fetal heart rate (FHR) can be a sign of umbilical cord compression, which can compromise fetal oxygenation.
Choice B rationale
Uterine contractions every 6 minutes are within the normal range for the latent phase of labor and do not indicate fetal risk.
Choice C rationale
Moderate variability of the FHR is a reassuring sign and suggests that the fetus is well-oxygenated and neurologically intact.
Choice D rationale
Uterine contractions lasting 30 to 45 seconds are typical for the latent phase of labor and do not indicate fetal distress.
