A nurse is caring for a client with a new diagnosis of a vaginal fistula.
The client states, "I don't understand how I got this.”. Which of the following is a potential cause of a vaginal fistula?

A.

Open heart surgery.

B.

Tissue trauma from childbirth.

C.

Diabetes mellitus.

D.

Preeclampsia.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale

Open heart surgery is unrelated to the development of vaginal fistulas.

 

Choice B rationale

Tissue trauma from childbirth can cause vaginal fistulas, as prolonged labor or obstetric interventions can damage vaginal tissue and lead to fistula formation.

 

Choice C rationale

Diabetes mellitus does not directly cause vaginal fistulas, although it can affect overall tissue health and healing.

 

Choice D rationale

Preeclampsia, while a serious pregnancy complication, is not a direct cause of vaginal fistulas.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","D","E","F"]

Explanation

B. Remove the newborn from phototherapy every 4 hours for thorough assessment of adverse effects of phototherapy.

D. Maintain an eye mask over the newborn's eyes.

E. Reposition the newborn every 2 hours.

F. Report sunken fontanels to the provider. Contraindicated:

A. Apply lotion to the skin every 4 hours.

C. Newborn feedings should be every 8 hours.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Phototherapy is a treatment for jaundice but is not a preventive measure. It is used after jaundice has been identified to reduce bilirubin levels in the newborn.

Choice B rationale

Suctioning excess mucus with a bulb syringe helps clear the newborn’s airways but does not have a direct role in preventing jaundice. Jaundice is related to bilirubin metabolism, not

mucus accumulation.

Choice C rationale

Preparing for an exchange blood transfusion is an intervention for severe hyperbilirubinemia but is not a preventive measure for jaundice. It is used when bilirubin levels are

extremely high.

Choice D rationale

Initiating early feeding helps to promote bowel movements, which assists in the excretion of bilirubin from the body. This is an effective preventive measure for jaundice, as it helps

reduce the chances of bilirubin buildup.
