ATI Maternal Newborn Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 4
A client at 10 weeks of gestation reports abdominal pain and moderate vaginal bleeding. The tentative diagnosis is inevitable abortion. Which of the following nursing interventions should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Offering the client the option to view products of conception after an inevitable abortion can provide closure and support the grieving process. It allows the client to have a visual confirmation of the pregnancy loss, which can aid in emotional healing. Administering oxygen is not a priority in this scenario as there is no indication of respiratory distress. Instructing the client to increase potassium-rich foods is not directly related to managing an inevitable abortion. Bed rest may be recommended, but offering the option to view products of conception is a more appropriate intervention at this time.
Question 2 of 4
A client at 37 weeks of gestation with severe gestational hypertension is being admitted by a nurse. Which of the following actions should the nurse NOT expect to implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Assessing respiratory status every 4 hours is not a priority for a client with severe gestational hypertension. In this scenario, the focus should be on monitoring blood pressure, assessing for signs of preeclampsia, administering medications like magnesium sulfate for seizure prophylaxis, and ensuring that calcium gluconate is readily available in case of magnesium toxicity. Respiratory status assessment is important in other conditions but is not directly related to managing severe gestational hypertension.
Question 3 of 4
A nurse in an antepartum unit is triaging clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 4
A healthcare provider is caring for a group of clients on an intrapartum unit. Which of the following findings should be reported to the provider immediately?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is a client who has a diagnosis of preeclampsia reporting epigastric pain and an unresolved headache. These symptoms indicate severe preeclampsia, which requires immediate medical attention due to the potential risks of complications such as HELLP syndrome or eclampsia. The other options describe concerning situations but do not represent immediate life-threatening conditions like those seen in severe preeclampsia.
