A nurse is providing client teaching regarding an intrauterine device (IUD).

Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

A.

You might experience irregular spotting the first few months after placement of the device.

B.

You will need to avoid using tampons during menstrual cycles.

C.

You will need to sign informed consent prior to the procedure.

D.

The device will need to be replaced every 2 years.

Question Solution

Correct Answer : A,B,C

Choice A rationale

Irregular spotting is common after the placement of an IUD as the body adjusts to the device. This is a normal side effect and typically resolves within a few months.

 

Choice B rationale

Avoiding tampons initially after IUD placement is advised to prevent displacement or infection. Once the IUD is properly positioned and the risk of infection decreases, tampons can generally be used.

 

Choice C rationale

Informed consent is required prior to IUD placement to ensure the client understands the procedure, potential risks, and benefits, ensuring an informed decision.

 

Choice D rationale

IUDs typically need to be replaced every 3 to 10 years, depending on the type. Replacing an IUD every 2 years is not accurate and does not align with standard medical

recommendations.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

A hematoma presents as a localized collection of blood outside the blood vessels, causing a purplish discoloration and swelling, often resulting from trauma during delivery.

Choice B rationale

Retained placental fragments may cause postpartum hemorrhage and infection but would not present as a localized purplish swelling on the perineum.

Choice C rationale

A laceration would involve a tear in the tissue, causing bleeding and pain, but not necessarily a purplish discoloration with localized swelling unless associated with a hematoma.

Choice D rationale

Ecchymosis refers to bruising but is typically a more diffuse discoloration rather than a localized swelling and purplish area as seen with a hematoma.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Checking fetal heart tones is the priority to assess the well-being of the fetus, especially in breech presentation and after the membranes have ruptured.

Choice B rationale

Preparing for a cesarean birth is important but follows the assessment of fetal heart tones and other immediate measures.

Choice C rationale

Checking the color, amount, and odor of the fluid is important, but ensuring fetal heart tones comes first to monitor any distress.

Choice D rationale

Performing a Nitrazine test to assess for rupture of membranes is redundant once the client reports her water has broken.
