Maternal Newborn Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a preterm newborn who is at 32 weeks of gestation. Which of the following finding should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A preterm newborn at 32 weeks of gestation is usually characterized by hip flexion posturing and a popliteal angle of less than 90 degrees. The popliteal angle is the angle at the back of the knee joint when the leg is flexed, and a value of less than 90 degrees is commonly seen in preterm newborns due to their muscle tone immaturity. This finding is consistent with the developmental stage of a preterm infant at 32 weeks gestation.
Question 2 of 5
Which complication of adolescent pregnancy should the nurse plan to monitor?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Incompetent cervix, also known as cervical insufficiency, is a condition where the cervix begins to dilate and efface prematurely due to weak cervical tissue. This can lead to late miscarriage or preterm birth. Adolescent mothers are at a higher risk for this complication due to their immature reproductive systems. Therefore, the nurse should plan to monitor for signs and symptoms of incompetent cervix in adolescent pregnant clients to prevent adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Anemia, placenta previa, and abruptio placenta are other potential complications of pregnancy, but they are not specifically associated with adolescent pregnancy.

What tion in the FHR that is abrupt and appears to be does the nurse inform this group that they are at in the shape of a W. What is the most likely cause highest risk for? of this?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An abnormality in the FHR that is abrupt and appears to be in the shape of a "W" is often indicative of variable decelerations. Variable decelerations typically occur due to compression of the umbilical cord, leading to a temporary decrease in oxygen supply to the fetus. It is important for the nurse to inform this group that they are at the highest risk for compression of the umbilical cord as this can result in fetal distress and potentially lead to serious complications if not promptly addressed.
