ATI RN Maternal Newborn 2023 III Questions
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a newborn who was born at 39 weeks of gestation and is 36 hours old. The newborn has a Coombs positive result and a glucose level of 50 mg/dL (40 to 60 mg/dL).
Question 1 of 5
What should the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A Coombs positive result suggests potential hemolysis, requiring monitoring for jaundice, a common complication.
Extract:
The client is a gravida 4, para 3, admitted at 28 weeks of gestation with vaginal bleeding for 2 hours, saturating pads with bright red blood. Abdomen soft, nontender, no pain. Fundal height 27 cm. FHR with minimal variability, no decelerations.
Question 2 of 5
Complete the diagram by specifying what condition the client is most likely experiencing, 2 actions the nurse should take, and 2 parameters to monitor: Condition Choices: A. Placenta previa, B. Abruptio placentae, C. Preterm labor, D. Miscarriage; Action Choices: A. Instruct bed rest, B. Prepare for cesarean, C. Administer tocolytics, D. Monitor vital signs every 15 min, E. Prepare for ultrasound; Parameter Choices: A. Fetal heart rate, B. Maternal blood pressure, C. Maternal heart rate, D. Hemoglobin and hematocrit, E. Uterine contractions
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placenta previa matches painless bright red bleeding; bed rest prevents further bleeding, cesarean may be needed; monitor FHR and hemoglobin/hematocrit for fetal well-being and blood loss.
Extract:
The newborn is a male, born at 38 weeks via vacuum-assisted birth. Mother GBS positive, received ampicillin. Initial assessment: weak cry, acrocyanosis, flaccid tone, temp 36.3°C (97 prefixes4°F).
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing the newborn 24 hours later. Based on the exhibits, which findings indicate the newborn's condition is improving, worsening, or unrelated? Options: A. WBC 18,000/mm³, B. Hgb 18 g/dL, C. Hct 55%, D. Glucose 50 mg/dL, E. Temp 36.8°C, F. HR 130/min
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: WBC 18,000/mm³, glucose 50 mg/dL, temp 36.8°C, and HR 130/min improving within normal ranges; Hgb 18 g/dL and Hct 55% unrelated, normal for newborns.
Extract:
A 28-year-old female at 12 weeks gestation admitted with excessive vomiting for 48 hours, lost 2.3 kg. Reports unable to keep food/fluids down. Dry mucous membranes, poor skin turgor, amber urine 20 mL/hr.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is assessing the client 24 hours later. How should the nurse interpret the findings? Options: A. Urine pH 5.0, B. Urine specific gravity 1.050, C. 3+ ketones, D. Urinary output 40 mL/hr, E. HR 130/min, F. WBC 10,000/mm³
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Urine pH 5.0 and output 40 mL/hr improving (hydration); specific gravity 1.050, 3+ ketones, HR 130/min worsening (dehydration); WBC 10,000/mm³ unrelated (normal range).
Extract:
A 28-year-old female at 15 weeks gestation reports frequent nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weight loss, dizziness, no abdominal pain.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of a potential complication of pregnancy? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: A, B, C, D, E
Rationale: Sodium 132 mEq/L, urine specific gravity 1.035, potassium 3.3 mEq/L, HR 106/min, and weight loss indicate hyperemesis gravidarum complications (electrolyte imbalance, dehydration), requiring monitoring.
