ATI RN Maternal Newborn 2023 Retake Questions
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a patient immediately following the delivery of a stillborn fetus.
Question 1 of 5
What action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Providing photos of the fetus supports memory-making and aids in the grieving process after a stillbirth. An autopsy is optional, time with the fetus should be based on parental wishes, and naming the fetus is not legally required.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a newborn who is 4 hours old. The newborn is lying in the bassinet, lightly swaddled. The newborn appears jittery with a weak cry when disturbed. The extremities are mottled with acrocyanosis. The respirations are rapid and unlabored.
Question 2 of 5
What action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Monitoring vital signs assesses potential neonatal abstinence syndrome or distress indicated by jitteriness and rapid breathing. Tighter swaddling, oxygen, or immediate notification aren't warranted without further data.
Extract:
A nurse in a provider's office is caring for a 20-year-old client who is at 12 weeks of gestation and requests an amniocentesis to determine the sex of the fetus.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Amniocentesis isn't necessary for sex determination; ultrasound is a safer alternative. CVS is earlier, age isn't a restriction, and same-day scheduling isn't appropriate.
Extract:
A nurse is calculating the estimated date of delivery for a patient who reports that the first day of her last menstrual period was August 10.
Question 4 of 5
Using Nägele's Rule, what is the patient's estimated date of delivery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Using Nägele's Rule: Add 7 days to August 10 (August 17), subtract 3 months (May 17), and add 1 year if crossing years. The correct date is May 17, 2025, assuming the current year aligns with the question context.

Question 5 of 5
