ATI Maternal Newborn

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) have difficulty breaking down phenylalanine, an amino acid found in protein-rich foods like peanut butter. Therefore, clients with PKU should avoid foods high in phenylalanine, such as peanut butter, to prevent adverse effects on their health. Choices B, C, and D are not typically high in phenylalanine and do not pose the same risk to individuals with PKU as peanut butter.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Providing reinforcement about infant care when the parent is present can help alleviate anxiety and promote positive parent-infant bonding. By offering guidance and support while the parent is interacting with the newborn, the nurse can help build the parent's confidence and strengthen the bond between the parent and the infant. Choice A is not ideal as it does not address the parent's anxiety and may increase stress levels. Choice B focuses on the parent's emotions without providing direct support for bonding. Choice C is dismissive and does not offer practical assistance in fostering bonding between the parent and the infant.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because the client needs a second varicella vaccination at the postpartum visit to ensure immunity. Option A is incorrect as it implies a future need for a second vaccination without a clear action plan. Option C is incorrect as the varicella vaccine is primarily for the client's protection, not others. Option D is not the appropriate action as waiting to be tested for immunity delays the necessary second vaccination.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Palpating the fundus of the uterus during Leopold maneuvers is crucial to identify the fetal lie. This technique allows the nurse to determine the position of the baby's back and locate the fetal heart sounds, aiding in assessing the fetal lie. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not directly relate to identifying the fetal lie during Leopold maneuvers. Applying palms to the sides of the uterus or grasping the lower uterine segment do not provide the necessary information about the fetal lie. Standing facing the client's feet and outlining cephalic prominence is more related to assessing the fetal presentation, not the fetal lie.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The expected respiratory rate for a newborn is between 30 to 60 breaths per minute. A rate of 48 breaths per minute falls within this range, indicating normal respiratory function for a newborn. Choice A (22/min) is below the expected range, Choices C (100/min) and D (110/min) are above the expected range for a newborn's respiratory rate.
