ATI Capstone Maternal Newborn Assessment Quizlet

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The nurse should report a urine output of 20 mL/hr. This finding can indicate decreased renal perfusion and possible development of preeclampsia, which is a severe complication of gestational hypertension. Inadequate urine output can suggest compromised kidney function and impaired maternal and fetal well-being. Options A, B, and C are within normal limits for a client with gestational hypertension and may not require immediate reporting to the provider.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Take the medication with food.' Ibuprofen can cause gastrointestinal upset, so it is essential for the client to take the medication with food to minimize this side effect. Choice A, 'Take the medication on an empty stomach,' is incorrect because ibuprofen should be taken with food to prevent stomach irritation. Choice B, 'Take the medication only at bedtime,' is incorrect as there is no specific timing requirement for ibuprofen administration related to bedtime. Choice D, 'Take the medication with caffeine,' is incorrect as there is no benefit in combining ibuprofen with caffeine, and caffeine could potentially worsen gastrointestinal side effects.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The nurse should report a urine output of 20 mL/hr. This finding can indicate decreased renal perfusion and possible development of preeclampsia, which is a severe complication of gestational hypertension. Inadequate urine output can suggest compromised kidney function and impaired maternal and fetal well-being. Options A, B, and C are within normal limits for a client with gestational hypertension and may not require immediate reporting to the provider.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A blood glucose level of 30 mg/dL in a newborn is significantly low and indicates hypoglycemia, which can be dangerous in a newborn. Hypoglycemia in a newborn can lead to neurological issues and requires immediate attention. The other findings provided, such as a respiratory rate of 50/min, blood pressure of 60/40 mm Hg, and a heart rate of 140/min, are within normal ranges for a newborn and do not require immediate reporting unless accompanied by clinical signs of distress.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Blood pressure 80/50 mm Hg.' Hypotension can be a side effect of oxytocin administration. A blood pressure of 80/50 mm Hg should be reported to the provider. Choice B, 'Uterine contractions,' is an expected finding as oxytocin is used to stimulate uterine contractions. Choice C, 'Urine output 150 mL in 2 hours,' is within the expected range postpartum. Choice D, 'Client reports cramping,' is a common finding due to uterine contractions and is not a cause for concern unless excessive or severe.
