ATI Capstone Maternal Newborn Assessment Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a newborn who was delivered 24 hours ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Jaundice occurring within the first 24 hours of life is a sign of pathological jaundice and should be reported to the provider. Caput succedaneum, acrocyanosis, and overlapping cranial sutures are common findings in newborns and do not necessarily require immediate reporting unless they are severe or indicate other underlying issues.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is at 32 weeks of gestation. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because facial swelling can indicate preeclampsia, a serious condition during pregnancy that requires immediate medical attention. Constipation (choice A), heartburn (choice C), and frequent urination (choice D) are common discomforts during pregnancy and are not typically indicative of a serious complication like preeclampsia at 32 weeks of gestation.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer Rh immune globulin to a client who is 28 weeks gestation. The nurse should understand that Rh immune globulin is administered to prevent which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Rh incompatibility. Rh immune globulin is administered to prevent the formation of antibodies in clients who are Rh-negative and have been exposed to Rh-positive fetal blood. Severe preeclampsia (choice B) is a condition characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to organs, not prevented by Rh immune globulin. Placental abruption (choice C) is the separation of the placenta from the uterine wall, not prevented by Rh immune globulin. Erythroblastosis fetalis (choice D) is a condition where maternal antibodies attack fetal red blood cells due to Rh incompatibility, which Rh immune globulin helps prevent.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a newborn who was delivered 6 hours ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A respiratory rate of 70/min in a newborn is above the expected range and may indicate respiratory distress, which should be reported to the provider. Choice B, vernix caseosa covering the skin, is a normal finding in newborns and does not require reporting. Choice C, milia on the bridge of the nose, is also a common finding in newborns and does not require immediate reporting. Choice D, acrocyanosis of the extremities, is a common finding within the first few hours of life in newborns and typically resolves on its own, so it does not need to be reported.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing care for a client who is in active labor and receiving oxytocin. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A contraction duration of 90 seconds can indicate uterine tachysystole, which may lead to fetal hypoxia. Uterine tachysystole is defined as more than five contractions in 10 minutes, averaged over a 30-minute window. Contractions every 2 minutes (Choice A) may occur in active labor but need to be assessed in conjunction with other factors. A fetal heart rate of 150/min (Choice C) is within the normal range. Urine output of 60 mL/hr (Choice D) is also within the expected range for a client in labor.
