ATI Capstone Maternal Newborn Assessment Quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct instruction for the nurse to include is to offer both breasts at each feeding. This practice helps ensure the baby receives hindmilk from both breasts, promoting adequate milk intake and stimulating milk production. Option A is incorrect as newborns should be breastfed on demand rather than on a strict schedule. Option C is inappropriate as it can interfere with establishing and maintaining a sufficient milk supply. Option D is inaccurate as newborns typically do not sleep through the night at one month; they need to feed frequently for proper growth and development.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Rh incompatibility. Rh immune globulin is administered to prevent the formation of antibodies in clients who are Rh-negative and have been exposed to Rh-positive fetal blood. Severe preeclampsia (choice B) is a condition characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to organs, not prevented by Rh immune globulin. Placental abruption (choice C) is the separation of the placenta from the uterine wall, not prevented by Rh immune globulin. Erythroblastosis fetalis (choice D) is a condition where maternal antibodies attack fetal red blood cells due to Rh incompatibility, which Rh immune globulin helps prevent.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Applying counterpressure to the sacrum can help alleviate lower back pain during labor by reducing pressure on the nerves. Effleurage on the abdomen, back massage with lavender oil, and administering opioid analgesics are not specifically targeted at relieving lower back pain, making them less effective interventions in this scenario.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. During a glucose tolerance test, the client is required to drink a glucose solution, and blood samples are taken at specific intervals, typically over a period of 1 to 3 hours. In this case, the nurse should inform the client to expect the test to take about 1 hour. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because there is no specific instruction to eat a low-carbohydrate diet for 3 days before the test, fast for 12 hours before the test, or limit fluid intake to water before the test in a standard glucose tolerance test.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Headache. Methylergonovine can cause vasoconstriction, leading to headaches. It is important for the client to report this adverse effect to the provider as it may indicate a serious complication. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because methylergonovine is not typically associated with diarrhea, nausea, or increased vaginal bleeding as common adverse effects.
