A nurse is caring for a client who inquires about a cervical cap for contraception. The nurse should identify that which of the following manifestations is a contraindication for the use of a cervical cap?
History of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
History of thrombophlebitis.
History of toxic shock syndrome.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
The Correct Answer is C
Choice A rationale
History of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is not directly related to the use of a cervical cap. The main concern with a cervical cap is infection, but MRSA history alone doesn't make it a contraindication for this form of contraception.
Choice B rationale
History of thrombophlebitis is more of a concern with hormonal contraceptives due to the risk of blood clots. A cervical cap does not involve hormones, so this condition is not a direct contraindication.
Choice C rationale
History of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a contraindication for the use of a cervical cap because the cap can increase the risk of developing TSS again. TSS is associated with prolonged use of barrier contraceptives, which can create an environment that fosters the growth of bacteria responsible for TSS.
Choice D rationale
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is not a direct contraindication for the use of a cervical cap. The concern with diabetes is often related to blood glucose control and potential infections, but it doesn't specifically contraindicate the use of cervical caps.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Starting each feeding with the same breast can lead to engorgement and decreased milk supply in the other breast.
Choice B rationale
Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months. Providing a formula supplement can interfere with milk supply and breastfeeding success.
Choice C rationale
Allowing the newborn to empty the first breast ensures they receive hindmilk, which is richer in fat and essential for growth.
Choice D rationale
Newborns do not need additional water as breast milk or formula provides all necessary hydration.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Taking an over-the-counter antacid is not recommended for managing nausea during pregnancy without consulting a healthcare provider. Some antacids contain ingredients that may not be safe during pregnancy.
Choice B rationale
Increasing intake of fresh fruits might help with hydration and nutrition but is not specifically effective in managing morning nausea. Some fruits might even exacerbate nausea due to their acidity.
Choice C rationale
Eating dry, bland foods in the morning can help manage nausea for pregnant clients. Foods like crackers, toast, and cereals are easy on the stomach and can help reduce morning sickness.
Choice D rationale
Restricting fluids to 1,000 mL/day is not advisable. Proper hydration is crucial during pregnancy, and such restriction can lead to dehydration and other complications. Fluids should be encouraged rather than restricted.
