Maternal Newborn ATI Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which will indicate a concealed hemorrhage in an abruptio placenta?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A concealed hemorrhage in abruptio placentae, also known as a concealed retroplacental hematoma, can cause rapid, significant bleeding behind the placenta with limited visible external bleeding. This internal bleeding can lead to significant blood loss and can cause the uterus to become tense and firm, resulting in a hard board-like abdomen upon palpation. This clinical sign is a key indicator of a concealed hemorrhage in abruptio placentae and should prompt immediate medical attention to prevent maternal and fetal complications. The other choices, such as decreased fundal height, bradycardia, and decreased abdominal pain, are not typically associated with a concealed hemorrhage in abruptio placentae.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct first action when a delivering patient's water breaks is to check the fetal heart tone. This is important to assess the well-being of the baby and ensure there are no signs of distress.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most important nursing action to undertake at this time is obtaining a fetal heart rate (FHR) assessment. Monitoring the FHR is crucial during labor to assess the well-being of the baby and detect any signs of fetal distress. This information helps guide the healthcare team in determining the appropriate course of action to ensure the safety of both the mother and baby. It takes precedence over other tasks such as completing a sterile vaginal exam, assessing the odor of amniotic fluid, performing Leopold's maneuver, or obtaining pain medication orders. Monitoring the FHR should be the immediate priority in this situation.
