ATI RN Maternal Newborn 2023 Retake Questions
Extract:
A nurse is educating a client who follows a vegan diet and wants to increase their vitamin B intake.
Question 1 of 5
Which food should the nurse suggest?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fortified soy milk is a reliable source of vitamin B12 for vegans, unlike citrus fruits (vitamin
C), carrots (vitamin
A), or brown rice (other B vitamins but not B12).
Extract:
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a patient following tubal ligation.
Question 2 of 5
Which statement by the patient indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ovulation will indeed remain the same after a tubal ligation. The procedure blocks or seals the fallopian tubes, preventing egg transport, but the ovaries continue to function normally, producing hormones and releasing eggs. Premenstrual tension persists, menstrual periods aren't affected in length, and hormone replacement isn't required.
Extract:
A nurse is calculating the estimated date of delivery for a patient who reports that the first day of her last menstrual period was August 10.
Question 3 of 5
Using Nägele's Rule, what is the patient's estimated date of delivery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Using Nägele's Rule: Add 7 days to August 10 (August 17), subtract 3 months (May 17), and add 1 year if crossing years. The correct date is May 17, 2025, assuming the current year aligns with the question context.
Extract:
A nurse in a provider's office is caring for a 20-year-old client who is at 12 weeks of gestation and requests an amniocentesis to determine the sex of the fetus.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Amniocentesis isn't necessary for sex determination; ultrasound is a safer alternative. CVS is earlier, age isn't a restriction, and same-day scheduling isn't appropriate.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 37 weeks of gestation and is being tested for group B streptococcus B-hemolytic (GBS). The client, who is multigravida and multipara with no history of GBS, asks the nurse why the test was not conducted earlier in her pregnancy.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Testing at 36-37 weeks determines GBS status at delivery, critical for preventing neonatal infection. Earlier status can change, and symptoms or past history don't dictate timing.
