ATI RN
Maternal Newborn ATI Proctored Exam 2023 Questions
Question 1 of 5
A postpartum client is getting ready to receive a Depo-Provera injection. Which statement by the client indicates that further teaching by the nurse is necessary?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the client's comparison of receiving a Depo-Provera injection to a rubella injection is incorrect. Depo-Provera is a hormonal contraceptive injection that does not have the same administration process or purpose as a rubella vaccination. This indicates a lack of understanding about the medication. Choice B is not the correct answer because it shows the client's awareness of the importance of weight management and exercise in conjunction with receiving the injection. Choice C is not the correct answer because it demonstrates the client's understanding of the need for a follow-up appointment in 3 months which is necessary for monitoring and continuation of the contraceptive method. Choice D is not the correct answer because it shows the client's understanding of the potential delay in fertility after discontinuing Depo-Provera, which is an important aspect of the contraceptive method that the client should be aware of.
Question 2 of 5
What must instructions for use of nonoxynol-9 spermicide include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer, C, states that excess spermicide should be removed from the vagina within 6 hours to reduce vaginal irritation. This is important as leaving excess spermicide can lead to discomfort and irritation. It is a crucial instruction to ensure the user's comfort and safety. Choice A is incorrect as nonoxynol-9 does not necessarily increase efficacy when used with barrier methods. Choice B is incorrect because while using spermicide with condoms can reduce the risk of STIs, the statement does not specifically address the instructions for use. Choice D is incorrect as placing the spermicide close to the vagina's opening does not guarantee maximal effectiveness and is not a critical instruction for safe use.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse provides education to the person undergoing a surgical abortion. What response by the person shows an understanding of the education?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because soaking a pad in 2 hours could indicate excessive bleeding, a potential complication after a surgical abortion. This response shows understanding of the education provided by the nurse about when to seek immediate medical attention. Choice A is incorrect because it is not true that there will be no pain after a surgical abortion; pain is a common experience post-procedure. Choice B is incorrect because it does not demonstrate an understanding of the key information provided during education. Choice D is incorrect because contraception counseling should be addressed sooner than 6 months post-abortion to prevent unintended pregnancies.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a prenatal class about immunizations that newborns receive following birth. Which of the following immunizations should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hepatitis B. Newborns typically receive the Hepatitis B vaccine shortly after birth to provide protection against the virus. This is important because newborns are at risk of contracting Hepatitis B from infected mothers during childbirth. The vaccine helps prevent chronic liver infections and liver cancer later in life. Why other choices are incorrect: B: Rotavirus - Rotavirus vaccine is typically given to infants starting at 2 months of age, not immediately after birth. C: Pneumococcal - Pneumococcal vaccines are usually given later in infancy, not right after birth. D: Varicella - Varicella vaccine is typically given around 12-15 months of age, not immediately after birth.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a full-term newborn who is receiving phototherapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Avoid using lotion or ointment on the newborn skin. Phototherapy is used to treat jaundice by exposing the baby's skin to light. Lotions or ointments can interfere with the effectiveness of the light therapy. Dressing the newborn in lightweight clothing (choice A) is not directly related to the effectiveness of phototherapy. Keeping the newborn supine throughout treatment (choice C) is a general position recommendation and not specific to phototherapy. Measuring the newborn's temperature every 8 hours (choice D) is important but not directly related to phototherapy.
