Maternal Newborn ATI Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A woman asks about the side effects of the contraceptive implant. Which of the following should the nurse include in the discussion?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because irregular bleeding patterns, including light spotting, are a common side effect of the contraceptive implant due to hormonal changes. This is important for the woman to be aware of to manage her expectations. Choice A is incorrect as the implant typically leads to lighter periods or no periods at all. Choice C is incorrect as weight gain is not a common side effect of the implant. Choice D is also incorrect as hair loss is not typically associated with the contraceptive implant.
Question 2 of 5
What is one difference between the copper IUC and the LNG-IUC?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: placement in the uterus. The copper IUC and LNG-IUC differ in where they are positioned in the uterus. The copper IUC is a T-shaped device placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy through copper ions, while the LNG-IUC releases hormones and is also placed in the uterus but is a different shape, typically a smaller T or a rounded shape. The placement of the device is crucial for its effectiveness and type of hormone release. Other choices (A) efficacy, (C) presence of a normal period, and (D) shape, do not directly differentiate between the two types of IUCs.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching about clomiphene citrate to a client who is experiencing infertility. Which of the following adverse effect should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Breast Tenderness. Clomiphene citrate is a medication commonly used to induce ovulation in women experiencing infertility. Breast tenderness is a common adverse effect due to the hormonal changes caused by the medication. Tinnitus (A), urinary frequency (B), and chills (D) are not typically associated with clomiphene citrate use. Tinnitus is more commonly associated with ototoxic medications, urinary frequency may be seen with diuretics, and chills are usually a symptom of infections or fevers.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is receiving oxytocin by continuous IV infusion for labor induction. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Titrate the infusion rate by 4 milliunits/min. This is the appropriate intervention because oxytocin is a potent uterotonic agent used for labor induction. By titrating the infusion rate by 4 milliunits/min, the nurse can closely monitor and adjust the dose to achieve the desired uterine contractions without causing hyperstimulation. Increasing the infusion rate every 30 to 60 min (A) can lead to rapid and uncontrolled contractions. Maintaining the client in a supine position (B) can decrease blood flow to the placenta. Limiting IV intake to 4 L per 24 hr (D) is not necessary and may lead to dehydration.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for newborn who is 1 hr. old and has a respiratory rate of 50/min, a heart rate of 130/min, and an auxiliary temperature of 36.1*C (97F). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action is to reposition the newborn. The vital signs provided indicate that the newborn may be experiencing cold stress, which can lead to hypothermia. Repositioning the newborn can help conserve heat and maintain a stable temperature. Giving a warm bath (choice A) may further decrease body temperature. Applying a cap (choice B) may help retain heat but does not address the underlying issue. Obtaining an oxygen saturation level (choice D) is not necessary based on the information provided.
