ATI RN Maternal Newborn 2023 Retake Questions
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a patient who is receiving oxytocin via continuous IV infusion and is experiencing persistent late decelerations in the FHR.
Question 1 of 5
After discontinuing the infusion, what action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Administering oxygen at 10 L/min via a non-rebreather mask increases oxygen availability to the fetus, addressing late decelerations indicating uteroplacental insufficiency. Amnioinfusion treats variable decelerations, supine position worsens blood flow, and pushing is inappropriate during fetal distress.
Extract:
A nurse is assessing a client who is at 6 weeks of gestation and adheres to a vegan diet.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following Questions should the nurse ask to assess the client's dietary intake?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Asking about daily protein intake is key for a vegan client, as protein sources are plant-based and critical in pregnancy. Vitamin C isn't the primary concern, meat and shellfish questions are irrelevant for a vegan.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is in active labor with a fetus in the occipitoposterior position. The nurse assists the client into a hands-and-knees position.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following Questions should the nurse ask to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The hands-and-knees position is used to reduce back labor in occipitoposterior positioning, so asking about back labor improvement evaluates effectiveness. Other options aren't specific to this intervention.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is 12 hr postpartum and has a fourth-degree laceration of the perineum.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A cool sitz bath soothes the perineal area, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing for a fourth-degree laceration. Warm compresses may increase swelling, methylergonovine is for uterine bleeding, and povidone-iodine isn't standard care here.
Extract:
A nurse is discussing fertility treatment options with a client and their partner.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following nonpharmacological treatments should the nurse suggest?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Maintaining a healthy weight improves fertility by regulating ovulation. Lubricants can hinder sperm motility, hot baths reduce sperm count, and herbal tea lacks proven fertility benefits.
