Questions and Verified Correct Answers Complete 2026 RN Maternal Newborn OB Exam, with the
strongest emphasis placed on Apply clinical judgment to prioritize nursing care for antepartum,
intrapartum, postpartum, and newborn clients, Analyze maternal and fetal assessment data to
detect complications and select evidence-based interventions and Evaluate pharmacologic and
parenteral therapies for safety and efficacy in maternal-newborn populations. Every item follows
the wording style and level of reasoning you meet in the real paper, and each one is paired with a
clear rationale so the correct choice is never a guess. Work through the set at your own pace,
mark the questions that slow you down, then come back to them until the reasoning feels
automatic. Learners who revise this way walk into the exam room recognising the pattern behind
the questions instead of meeting them for the first time. Keep going - steady, honest practice is
what turns a difficult paper into a comfortable pass.

,Q1 APPLY CLINICAL JUDGMENT TO PRIORITIZE NURSING CARE FOR ANTEPARTUM,
INTRAPARTUM, POSTPARTUM, AND NEWBORN CLIENTS
Which assessment finding best differentiates severe preeclampsia from
gestational hypertension?
A. Blood pressure 148/94 mm Hg on two occasions
B. Platelet count 96,000/mm3 with AST 88 units/L CORRECT
C. Trace proteinuria on a random urine dipstick
D. Dependent edema of the lower extremities
RATIONALE: Severe features of preeclampsia include thrombocytopenia (<100,000/mm3) and
elevated liver enzymes, indicating end-organ involvement. Gestational hypertension lacks
proteinuria or severe features. Trace proteinuria and dependent edema are nonspecific and do
not meet severe criteria.
Q2 APPLY CLINICAL JUDGMENT TO PRIORITIZE NURSING CARE FOR ANTEPARTUM,
INTRAPARTUM, POSTPARTUM, AND NEWBORN CLIENTS
Which finding most urgently suggests uterine rupture during a trial of labor after
cesarean?
A. Sudden loss of station with nonreassuring fetal tracing CORRECT
B. Contractions every 2 to 3 minutes lasting 60 seconds
C. Maternal request for epidural bolus
D. Bloody show with cervical change from 4 to 6 cm
RATIONALE: Uterine rupture classically presents with sudden fetal descent (loss of station),
abnormal fetal heart tracing, and loss of contraction pattern. Regular contractions and bloody
show are expected in labor. Epidural request is unrelated to rupture.

,Q3 APPLY CLINICAL JUDGMENT TO PRIORITIZE NURSING CARE FOR ANTEPARTUM,
INTRAPARTUM, POSTPARTUM, AND NEWBORN CLIENTS
Which intervention best prevents early-onset group B streptococcal disease in a
newborn?
A. Administering penicillin to the newborn at 12 hours of life
B. Intrapartum intravenous penicillin prophylaxis to the laboring client CORRECT
C. Routine cesarean birth for all GBS-positive clients
D. Vaginal chlorhexidine irrigation during the second stage
RATIONALE: Intrapartum IV penicillin prophylaxis is the standard for preventing early-onset GBS
disease. Newborn penicillin after birth and vaginal chlorhexidine are not recommended.
Cesarean birth does not prevent GBS transmission and is not indicated for GBS alone.
Q4 APPLY CLINICAL JUDGMENT TO PRIORITIZE NURSING CARE FOR ANTEPARTUM,
INTRAPARTUM, POSTPARTUM, AND NEWBORN CLIENTS
A postpartum client receiving magnesium sulfate develops absent deep tendon
reflexes and respiratory rate 10/min. Which action is priority?
A. Increase the magnesium infusion to maintain therapeutic levels
B. Administer calcium gluconate and stop the magnesium infusion CORRECT
C. Document the findings and reassess in 30 minutes
D. Encourage deep breathing and reposition the client
RATIONALE: Absent reflexes and respiratory depression indicate magnesium toxicity; the
antidote is calcium gluconate and the infusion must be stopped. Increasing magnesium worsens
toxicity. Documentation without intervention or breathing exercises are unsafe.

, Q5 APPLY CLINICAL JUDGMENT TO PRIORITIZE NURSING CARE FOR ANTEPARTUM,
INTRAPARTUM, POSTPARTUM, AND NEWBORN CLIENTS
Which assessment finding in a newborn most strongly indicates neonatal
abstinence syndrome?
A. High-pitched cry with tremors and poor feeding CORRECT
B. Mild jaundice noted at 24 hours of life
C. Single episode of regurgitation after feeding
D. Axillary temperature of 36.8°C (98.2°F)
RATIONALE: Neonatal abstinence syndrome presents with central nervous system irritability
such as high-pitched cry, tremors, and feeding difficulties. Jaundice, isolated regurgitation, and a
normal temperature are not characteristic of withdrawal.
Q6 APPLY CLINICAL JUDGMENT TO PRIORITIZE NURSING CARE FOR ANTEPARTUM,
INTRAPARTUM, POSTPARTUM, AND NEWBORN CLIENTS
Which maternal position best optimizes umbilical blood flow during a nonstress
test with late decelerations?
A. Supine with knees flexed
B. Left lateral recumbent CORRECT
C. High Fowler's with legs dependent
D. Lithotomy with stirrups elevated
RATIONALE: Left lateral recumbent positioning relieves vena cava compression, improving
placental perfusion and reducing late decelerations. Supine positioning worsens compression.
High Fowler's and lithotomy do not optimize uterine perfusion.
