Maternal and Newborn Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
How would the nurse best analyze the results from a patient sonogram that shows the fetal shoulder is the presenting part? What position?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When the sonogram shows the fetal shoulder as the presenting part, it indicates a bridge transverse position. This position means that the baby is lying sideways in the uterus, with one shoulder presenting first. It is essential for the nurse to recognize this position as it may impact the mode of delivery and require additional monitoring to ensure the safe delivery of the baby. Through proper analysis and understanding of the sonogram results, healthcare providers can make informed decisions and provide appropriate care for both the mother and the baby.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse should anticipate the labor pattern for a fetal occiput posterior position to be
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse should anticipate the labor pattern for a fetal occiput posterior position to be prolonged and more painful. This is because in occiput posterior position, the baby's head is facing the mother's abdomen instead of her back, which can lead to slower descent and dilation of the cervix. The baby's head may have difficulty rotating to the optimal position for birth, causing longer labor and increased back pain for the mother. Nurses should be prepared to provide additional support and pain management strategies for women experiencing labor with a fetal occiput posterior position.
Question 3 of 5
During the first few minutes after birth which physiologic changes occurs in the newborn as response to vascular pressure changes in increased oxygen levels?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Immediately after birth, as the newborn takes its first breaths and transitions to breathing air, there is a rapid increase in oxygen levels in the blood. This sudden increase in oxygen causes the pulmonary vessels in the newborn's lungs to dilate. This dilation helps improve blood flow through the lungs, allowing for efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The dilation of pulmonary vessels is a normal physiologic response to the changing environment in the newborn's body after birth.
