ATI Maternal Newborn Exam Final Questions
Extract:
A client who is 2 hours postpartum, soaked a perineal pad in 10 minutes, ashen skin, feels weak and light-headed, oxygen applied at 10 L/min via non-rebreather mask
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fundal massage stimulates uterine contractions to control bleeding in postpartum hemorrhage, the likely cause of symptoms. Positioning, oxytocin, and catheterization follow if needed.
Extract:
A patient who has been admitted to the labor and delivery unit
Question 2 of 5
What condition is the patient most likely experiencing, what actions should the nurse take, and what parameters should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Preterm labor is likely, requiring tocolytics to reduce contractions, with contraction frequency monitored to assess progress. Specific details are lacking but align with the scenario.
Extract:
A client who is 4 hours postpartum following a vaginal delivery
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse prioritize?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A saturated perineal pad in 30 minutes indicates excessive bleeding, suggestive of postpartum hemorrhage, a life-threatening condition requiring immediate intervention. Fundus at the umbilicus is normal at this stage, approximated episiotomy edges are expected, and 4+ reflexes may suggest preeclampsia but are less urgent in the postpartum period.

Extract:
A client who is suspected of having a hydatidiform mole
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect to observe in this client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Excessive uterine enlargement is characteristic of a hydatidiform mole due to trophoblastic overgrowth. High hCG levels, grape-like vaginal bleeding, and absence of a fetus are typical, not the other options.
