ATI Capstone Week 11 Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled for a maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein test at 15 weeks of gestation. The nurse provides which of the following explanations about this test to the client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: This test is a screening test for spinal defects in the fetus. The maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein test is used to screen for neural tube defects such as spina bifida in the fetus. The test measures the levels of alpha-fetoprotein in the mother's blood, which can indicate the presence of such defects. At 15 weeks of gestation, this test is typically done as part of routine prenatal screening.

Explanation for other choices:
A: This test does not identify Rh incompatibility; that is typically determined through other blood tests.
B: While the test may indirectly provide information about fetal well-being, its primary purpose is to screen for spinal defects, not general markers of well-being.
D: Fetal lung maturity is typically assessed using tests such as amniocentesis or ultrasound, not the maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein test.
