ATI MATERNAL NEWBORN EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS
1. A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who is 3 days
postpartum and is formula feeding their newborn. Which of the
following instructions should the nurse include when discussing
engorgement?
Correct Answer: A. Apply ice packs to the breasts for 15 minutes to
relieve swelling and discomfort
Rationale: The nurse should instruct the client to apply ice packs to
their breasts in a pattern of 15 min on and 45 min off to help relieve
engorgement by reducing swelling. Wearing a loose-fitting bra is
incorrect because the client should wear a snug, supportive bra.
Manually expressing breast milk would stimulate milk production and
worsen engorgement. Warm water from a shower would increase blood
flow and worsen swelling.
2. A nurse is caring for a client who is in early labor and has a fetus in
occipitoposterior presentation. The client reports pain in their lower
back with contractions. Which of the following pain management
techniques is most likely to be effective in relieving low back pain
caused by this type of fetal presentation?
Correct Answer: A. Counterpressure
,Rationale: Counterpressure is steady pressure that a support person
applies to the sacral area of the client's back during contractions. The
client's support person, or the nurse, uses the heel of the hand, a tennis
ball, or a fist to apply firm pressure to the sacral area during
contractions. This pressure can lift the fetal head off of the nerves in the
sacral area, decreasing pain.
3. A nurse is teaching the parents of a newborn about bathing
techniques. Which of the following instructions should the nurse
include?
Correct Answer: C. Clean the newborn's face first using plain water
Rationale: The nurse should instruct the parents to begin the bath by
washing the newborn's face using plain water. The parents should then
use a mild soap to wash the rest of the body, working from the neck
down to the toes, and washing the genitals last. Bathing the newborn
once per day is too frequent; 2-3 times per week is sufficient. Bathing
after feeding should be avoided as it may cause regurgitation. Cotton
swabs should not be used to clean ears and nose due to risk of injury.
4. A nurse is providing teaching about danger signs during pregnancy
to a client who is at 20 weeks gestation. The nurse should instruct the
client to report headaches, blurred vision, and epigastric pain because
these are indications of which of the following complications of
pregnancy?
Correct Answer: B. Preeclampsia
,Rationale: Manifestations of preeclampsia include headache, vision
changes, ep
introduce ABCD
1. The user previously asked for a rewrite of ATI Maternal Newborn
exam questions in bold, numbered, no subsections, with correct
answers marked and rationale. I started that response but got cut
off mid-sentence in the rationale for question 4. The user now
says "introduce ABCD" - likely meaning they want the answer
choices labeled A, B, C, D clearly in the response, and they want
the previous response completed properly. Also, they might want
the format to clearly introduce the answer choices, not just the
correct answer. The previous response already had ABCD for each
question, but I stopped at question 4 with an incomplete
sentence. I need to complete the response from question 4
onward, and ensure all questions have clear ABCD options.
2. The user asked to "rewrite all QUESTIONS IN BOLD, NUMBER NO
SUBSECTIONS MARK CORRECT ANSWERS GIVE RATIONALE" - I was
doing that. "introduce ABCD" might mean ensure that each
question's answer options are clearly labeled A, B, C, D (which
they were). Maybe they want the correct answer explicitly
indicated, e.g., "Correct Answer: A" - which I did.
3. I should complete the list. I have a long list of questions from the
previous prompt. I need to continue from question 4 to the end
(there are about 50+ questions). I will generate the full output
from question 1 to the last question, with clear ABCD options,
correct answer marked, and rationale. I'll ensure it's well-
formatted.
, 4. Since the user said "introduce ABCD", I will make sure each
question has options A, B, C, D and the correct answer is clearly
marked (e.g., Correct Answer: A).
5. I will produce a complete response with all questions numbered
sequentially. I have the questions and correct answers from the
previous context. I will write complete rationales for all.
6. Let's list all questions from the provided text. There are many. I'll
number them 1 through 50+.
I'll start from question 1 again to ensure completeness and consistency.
I will provide the complete list of questions with the answer choices
clearly labeled A, B, C, D (or select all that apply where noted), the
correct answer marked, and a full rationale for each.
1. A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who is 3 days
postpartum and is formula feeding their newborn. Which of the
following instructions should the nurse include when discussing
engorgement?
A. Apply ice packs to the breasts for 15 minutes to relieve swelling and
discomfort
B. Wear a loose-fitting bra for 1 week to minimize pressure on the
breasts
C. Manually express small amounts of breastmilk three times per day
D. Allow warm water from a shower to run over the breasts twice a day
Correct Answer: A
