VATI Maternal Newborn Assessment Questions
Question 1 of 5
Positive signs of pregnancy
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: One of the positive signs of pregnancy is the active fetal movements palpable by the examiner. This occurs when the examiner is able to feel the movements of the fetus inside the uterus. This sign usually becomes noticeable in the second half of pregnancy and is a clear indication that the pregnancy is progressing normally. It is a reassuring sign for both the pregnant individual and the healthcare provider that the fetus is active and healthy.
Question 2 of 5
A 28-year-old patient has decided to use the patch contraception. The nurse is educating her on the best site to use. Where is the best place to put the patch? Select one that does not that apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The best sites for applying the contraceptive patch are the buttocks, arm, and leg. These areas have sufficient fat and are away from areas that might rub off the patch. Choice B (Neck) is incorrect as the neck is not recommended for patch application due to the potential for irritation and the high blood flow area. Choice C (Breast) is not recommended because the breast tissue may affect the adhesion of the patch.

Question 5 of 5
A labor client has been diagnosed with CPD following attempts of pushing for 2 hours with no progress. Based on the info, which birth method is available when you have CPD (baby can't come out)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: CPD (cephalopelvic disproportion) occurs when the baby's head or body is too large to pass through the mother's pelvis. In cases where CPD is diagnosed and labor has stalled despite adequate efforts (such as pushing for 2 hours with no progress), the safest and most appropriate method to deliver the baby is through a cesarean section (C/S). This surgical procedure allows for a safe delivery when vaginal delivery is not possible due to CPD, ensuring the well-being of both the baby and the mother. Induced labor, vaginal birth with vacuum, or inserting a foley catheter to empty the bladder would not be effective or safe in cases of CPD where the baby cannot pass through the birth canal.
