ATI RN Maternal Newborn level 3 Final Exam 2023 -Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Bathe the newborn before initiating skin to skin contact. This action is crucial to reduce the risk of HIV transmission from the mother to the newborn. By bathing the newborn before skin-to-skin contact, the nurse can remove any potential HIV-infected fluids from the baby's skin, reducing the risk of transmission. This step helps to protect the newborn while still allowing for important bonding through skin-to-skin contact after bathing.


Choice A is incorrect as the use of a fetal scalp electrode during labor and delivery is unrelated to preventing HIV transmission from mother to newborn.
Choice C is incorrect as stopping antiretroviral medication can significantly increase the risk of HIV transmission to the newborn.
Choice D is incorrect as administering pneumococcal immunization is important but not within 4 hours following birth in the context of preventing HIV transmission.
