ATI Community Health Proctored Exam 2019 Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
In the past year, Barangay A had an average population of 1655. There were 46 babies born in that year, 2 of whom died less than 4 weeks after birth, and 4 stillbirths were recorded. What is the neonatal mortality rate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Neonatal mortality rate is calculated by dividing the number of babies who died before reaching the age of 28 days by the total number of live births, then multiplying by 1,000. In this case, 2 babies died within 28 days out of 46 total live births. Therefore, the neonatal mortality rate is (2/46) * 1000 = 43.5/1000.
Question 2 of 5
Why is a primigravida instructed to offer her breast to the baby for the first time within 30 minutes after delivery?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Offering the breast to the baby early after delivery ensures that the baby receives colostrum, the initial milk produced by the mammary glands rich in antibodies and essential nutrients, which are crucial for the newborn's health and immune system. This early breastfeeding also helps establish the mother-infant bond and promotes successful breastfeeding in the long term.
Question 3 of 5
When preparing a primigravida for breastfeeding, which of the following will you do?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Putting the baby to breast can help reduce post-delivery blood loss as suckling stimulates the release of oxytocin, causing uterine contractions. Lactation typically starts 1 to 3 days after delivery, not immediately. Nipple stretching exercises are recommended for flat or inverted nipples, not everted ones. Excessive washing of the nipples can dry them out, increasing the risk of fissures.
Question 4 of 5
You are in a client's home to attend to a delivery. Which of the following will you do first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Assessment of the woman should be done first to determine whether she is having true labor and, if so, what stage of labor she is in.
Question 5 of 5
In a mother's class, you discuss proper breastfeeding technique. Which of these is a sign that the baby has latched on the breast properly?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When a baby has properly latched onto the breast, they take deep, slow sucks, their mouth is wide open, and much of the areola is inside their mouth. A key indicator of a proper latch is that the mother does not feel nipple pain, indicating that the baby is positioned correctly and feeding effectively.
