PN ATI Capstone Maternal Newborn Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is in active labor and notes late decelerations in the FHR on the external fetal monitor. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The first action should be to change the client's position, as this can relieve pressure on the umbilical cord and improve fetal oxygenation, addressing the cause of late decelerations.

Question 2 of 5

Following delivery, the nurse places the newborn under a radiant heat warmer. Which of the following is this action used to prevent?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Cold stress in newborns can lead to increased oxygen consumption and energy expenditure as the body tries to maintain its temperature. This can result in hypoglycemia and metabolic acidosis if not addressed. The use of a radiant warmer helps maintain the infant's body temperature, reducing the risk of cold stress and its complications.
