PN ATI Capstone Maternal Newborn Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a newborn who is 24 hr old. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A bilirubin level of 4 mg/dL is elevated for a newborn and requires monitoring and potential intervention to prevent complications such as jaundice and kernicterus.
Question 2 of 5
A newborn demonstrates respiratory distress, and routine suctioning with the bulb syringe is unsuccessful. What is the next nursing intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: If routine suctioning with a bulb syringe is ineffective, the next step is to use mechanical suction. This ensures that any obstruction in the airway is cleared. If the newborn's condition does not improve, chest compressions or further interventions may be needed.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's medical record and notes that the client is taking tamoxifen. The nurse should identify that tamoxifen is used to treat which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tamoxifen is an anti-estrogen medication primarily used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It works by blocking estrogen receptors in breast tissue, slowing the growth of tumors that require estrogen to grow.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a newborn who has a blood glucose level of 45 mg/dL. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Encouraging the mother to breastfeed is appropriate, as breastfeeding can quickly raise blood glucose levels in newborns. A level of 45 mg/dL is often acceptable but should be monitored closely.
