ATI Capstone Maternal Newborn Assessment Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client in the first stage of labor is experiencing lower back pain and asks the nurse what can be done to relieve the pain. Which of the following interventions should the nurse suggest?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Applying counterpressure to the sacrum can help alleviate lower back pain during labor by reducing pressure on the nerves. Effleurage on the abdomen, back massage with lavender oil, and administering opioid analgesics are not specifically targeted at relieving lower back pain, making them less effective interventions in this scenario.
Question 2 of 5
A client at 37 weeks of gestation is scheduled for a nonstress test. What information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Drinking orange juice before the nonstress test can increase fetal movement, which is essential for an accurate reading.
Choice A is incorrect because oxytocin is not typically administered during a nonstress test.
Choice B is incorrect as fasting is not required before this test.
Choice D is incorrect as a full bladder is not necessary for a nonstress test.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing prenatal education to a client who is in the second trimester of pregnancy. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Calcium intake is crucial during pregnancy to support fetal bone development. The nurse should educate the client to increase their calcium intake.
Choice A is incorrect because fetal movements are usually felt around 18-25 weeks, not at 12 weeks.
Choice C is incorrect as exercise is generally encouraged during pregnancy, including the second trimester, as long as it is not high-impact or risky.
Choice D is incorrect as folic acid intake is essential during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects, and pregnant individuals are usually advised to increase their folic acid intake.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who is postpartum and has a prescription for ibuprofen for perineal pain. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Take the medication with food.' Ibuprofen can cause gastrointestinal upset, so it is essential for the client to take the medication with food to minimize this side effect.
Choice A, 'Take the medication on an empty stomach,' is incorrect because ibuprofen should be taken with food to prevent stomach irritation.
Choice B, 'Take the medication only at bedtime,' is incorrect as there is no specific timing requirement for ibuprofen administration related to bedtime.
Choice D, 'Take the medication with caffeine,' is incorrect as there is no benefit in combining ibuprofen with caffeine, and caffeine could potentially worsen gastrointestinal side effects.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving oxytocin for labor induction. Which of the following findings requires immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Late decelerations in the fetal heart rate require immediate intervention as they can indicate fetal distress due to uteroplacental insufficiency. This finding suggests a compromised blood flow to the fetus, which can lead to serious complications if not addressed promptly. Contraction frequency and duration are important to monitor but do not necessitate immediate intervention unless they are causing fetal distress. Urine output of 50 mL/hr is within the normal range for a client in labor and does not require immediate intervention.
