PN ATI Capstone Maternal Newborn Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is in the third trimester of pregnancy and has gestational diabetes. Which of the following complications is the fetus at risk for?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Gestational diabetes can result in fetal macrosomia, a condition where the baby grows larger than normal due to excess glucose in the mother's blood. This increases the risk of complications during delivery.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who gave birth 1 week ago. The client states, "I don't know what's wrong. I love my baby, but I feel so let down and I seem to cry for no reason." The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following emotional responses to birth?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The client is likely experiencing postpartum blues, which is common and characterized by mood swings, tearfulness, and emotional letdown shortly after delivery.

Question 3 of 5

Following delivery, the nurse places the newborn under a radiant heat warmer. Which of the following is this action used to prevent?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Cold stress in newborns can lead to increased oxygen consumption and energy expenditure as the body tries to maintain its temperature. This can result in hypoglycemia and metabolic acidosis if not addressed. The use of a radiant warmer helps maintain the infant's body temperature, reducing the risk of cold stress and its complications.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is assessing a newborn and notes that the infant has yellow-tinged skin. Which of the following is the priority nursing action?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Yellow-tinged skin (jaundice) in a newborn can indicate hyperbilirubinemia. The priority action is to assess the infant's bilirubin levels to determine the severity of the jaundice and the need for further interventions, such as phototherapy.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is conducting an infertility assessment for a newly admitted client. Which of the following factors should the nurse identify as affecting the client's fertility?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Premature ovarian failure affects fertility by leading to reduced or absent ovarian function, resulting in decreased estrogen production and irregular menstrual cycles.
