Maternal Newborn ATI Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with gestational diabetes. What fetal complication should the nurse monitor for after birth?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Newborns of mothers with gestational diabetes are at risk for hypoglycemia due to high insulin levels after birth.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a newborn upon admission to the nursery. Which of the following should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When a nurse is assessing a newborn upon admission to the nursery, it is expected that the chest circumference will be smaller than the head circumference. This is a normal finding in a newborn, where the head circumference is slightly larger than the chest circumference due to the proportionate sizes of the newborn's head and chest. This difference helps accommodate the vital organs within the chest cavity while allowing for the growth and development of the brain.
Therefore, a chest circumference that is 2 cm smaller than the head circumference is a typical and expected finding in a newborn assessment.
