A nurse is caring for a client who is postpartum and has inverted nipples. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Encourage the client to wear an underwire bra.
Place breast shells in the client's bra.
Provide plastic-lined breast pads.
Have the client apply breast cream on a regular basis.
The Correct Answer is B
Choice A rationale
Wearing an underwire bra is not recommended for clients with inverted nipples as it can cause discomfort and restrict milk flow. Proper support without constriction is essential.
Choice B rationale
Placing breast shells in the client's bra helps to draw out inverted nipples by applying gentle pressure, making breastfeeding easier. They also protect the nipples from friction and irritation.
Choice C rationale
Providing plastic-lined breast pads may prevent leakage, but they do not address the issue of inverted nipples. Proper nipple preparation is essential for effective breastfeeding.
Choice D rationale
Applying breast cream regularly might keep the skin hydrated, but it does not help to correct the inversion of the nipples. Mechanical aids like breast shells are more effective.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Mongolian spots are common, benign skin markings that some newborns have, but they are not related to rubella exposure during pregnancy.
Choice B rationale
Jaundice is a common condition in newborns, characterized by a yellowing of the skin and eyes, usually due to an immature liver. It's not specifically linked to maternal rubella exposure.
Choice C rationale
Transient strabismus, or temporary misalignment of the eyes, can occur in newborns but is unrelated to rubella. It usually resolves on its own as the newborn's muscles develop.
Choice D rationale
Deafness is a significant risk associated with congenital rubella syndrome. Rubella can damage the developing auditory system in utero, leading to permanent hearing loss in the newborn.
Correct Answer is ["A","C","E"]
Explanation
Choice A rationale:
Breech presentation is a contraindication for dinoprostone as it increases the risk of complications during labor and delivery. Using dinoprostone to induce labor in a non-vertex presentation can lead to issues such as cord prolapse or obstructed labor, which necessitate a cesarean section for safe delivery.
Choice B rationale:
Terbutaline administration is used to manage preterm labor by relaxing the uterus. While it is relevant in labor management, it does not directly contraindicate the use of dinoprostone. Terbutaline and dinoprostone can be used in conjunction if properly managed.
Choice C rationale:
Fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring showing abnormalities is a potential reason to withhold dinoprostone. Dinoprostone can increase uterine contractions, potentially stressing the fetus. A stable FHR with moderate variability indicates fetal well-being; however, if there were concerns, the provider might withhold dinoprostone.
Choice D rationale:
A WBC count of 9,500/mm³ is within the normal range and does not indicate an infection or condition that would contraindicate dinoprostone use. Elevated WBC count could raise concerns, but in this case, it is normal and not a contraindication.
Choice E rationale:
Lesions noted on the vaginal introitus and labia majora, likely caused by Herpes simplex virus, are a contraindication for dinoprostone. Active genital herpes lesions increase the risk of neonatal herpes transmission, making vaginal delivery risky. In such cases, cesarean delivery is often preferred to prevent transmission.
