ATI Pediatrics Proctored Exam 2023 with NGN Questions

Question 1 of 5

A breastfeeding mother complains of sore nipples. Which intervention should the nurse suggest?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct intervention for sore nipples in a breastfeeding mother is to suggest applying lanolin cream after each feeding. Lanolin cream can help soothe and protect the nipples, promoting healing and reducing discomfort. Using a breast pump may not address the underlying issue causing soreness. Washing nipples with soap and water excessively can lead to dryness and further irritation. Reducing breastfeeding frequency may impact milk supply and bonding. Therefore, recommending lanolin cream is the most appropriate intervention to alleviate soreness in this situation.

Question 2 of 5

The healthcare provider is teaching a new mother how to care for her newborn's umbilical cord. Which instruction should be included?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Keeping the umbilical cord dry and exposed to air is the correct instruction because it promotes faster healing. Moisture can delay the healing process and increase the risk of infection. Cleaning the cord with alcohol at every diaper change or covering it with a sterile dressing can actually impede the healing process by preventing airflow. Submerging the cord in water during baths is not recommended as it can introduce moisture and increase the risk of infection.

Question 3 of 5

The healthcare provider is assessing a newborn who had undergone vaginal delivery. Which of the following findings is least likely to be observed in a normal newborn?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A heart rate of 80 bpm is least likely to be observed in a normal newborn. The normal heart rate range for a newborn is usually higher than 80 bpm, typically ranging from 120-160 bpm. The Moro reflex (choice A) is a normal newborn reflex, respirations being irregular (choice C) are expected due to the immature respiratory control center, and an uneven head shape (choice D) is common due to molding during vaginal delivery.

Question 4 of 5

The provider is educating the parents of a newborn about circumcision care. Which of the following instructions should be included?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct instruction for circumcision care is to use warm water to gently clean the penis during diaper changes. Alcohol wipes should be avoided as they can cause irritation. Yellowish exudate around the head of the penis is a normal part of the healing process and does not require reporting unless accompanied by other concerning symptoms. Avoiding petroleum jelly on the circumcision site is important to prevent trapping moisture and bacteria, which can lead to infection.

Question 5 of 5

The student nurse has performed a gestational age assessment of an infant and finds the infant to be at 32 weeks. On which set of characteristics is the nurse basing this assessment?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. At 30 to 32 weeks' gestation, the clitoris is prominent, and the labia minora are enlarging. The labia majora are small and widely separated. As gestational age increases, the labia majora increase in size. At 36 to 40 weeks, they almost cover the clitoris. At 40 weeks and beyond, the labia majora cover the labia minora and clitoris. Choices A, C, and D do not align with the characteristic features seen at 32 weeks of gestation, making them incorrect.
