ATI MATERNAL NEWBORN PROCTOR EXAM 2025 WITH
100% ACCURATE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. Describe the follow-up procedure for women who have experienced
gestational diabetes after their pregnancy.
Women are only retested if they show symptoms of diabetes.
Women are monitored for symptoms but not retested after 6 weeks.
Women are retested for gestational diabetes at 6 weeks
postpartum and then every 3 years.
Women are retested immediately after delivery and then annually.
2. Describe the significance of monitoring fetal movements during pregnancy
and what it indicates if a woman experiences fewer than 3 movements in
one hour.
Fetal movements should be consistent throughout the day; fewer
than 3 movements indicate the need for more rest.
Fetal movements are only important in the third trimester; fewer than
3 movements in the first trimester are normal.
Fetal movements are an important indicator of fetal well-being;
fewer than 3 movements in one hour may suggest potential
complications and warrant further evaluation.
Fetal movements are irrelevant to fetal health; fewer than 3
movements indicate normalcy.
3. What are two potential causes of decreased or loss of fetal heart rate
variability?
Maternal obesity and advanced maternal age
, Excessive fetal movement and maternal exercise
Fetal hypoxemia w/resulting acidosis and medications that
depress the CNS
Increased maternal stress and dehydration
4. If a pregnant woman tests positive for Group B Streptococcus at 36 weeks,
what is the recommended course of action during labor?
Delay labor until further testing is done.
Administer intravenous antibiotics during labor.
Schedule a cesarean section immediately.
Monitor the mother without intervention.
5. If a pregnant woman is diagnosed with HELLP syndrome, what immediate
actions should healthcare providers take to ensure the safety of both the
mother and the fetus?
Delay any interventions until after the delivery.
Advise the woman to rest at home without medical supervision.
Increase the woman's nutritional intake without further assessment.
Monitor maternal and fetal health closely and consider early
delivery if necessary.
6. Describe what ballottment indicates in the context of pregnancy
assessment.
Ballottment refers to the nutritional needs of lactating women.
Ballottment indicates the positioning of the fetus and is
considered a presumptive sign of pregnancy.
, Ballottment is a technique used to assess fetal heart rate.
Ballottment is a diagnostic test for maternal health.
7. If a pregnant woman is at 16 weeks gestation and has a family history of
genetic disorders, what might be a recommended procedure to assess
potential risks to the fetus?
Blood glucose test
Amniocentesis
Chorionic villus sampling
Ultrasound
8. From weeks 18-32 the fundal height is:
Height measured in millimeters is the same as gestational age
Height measured in inches is the same as gestational age
Not accurate, every fetus grows differently
Height measured in centimeters is the same as gestational age
9. Describe the significance of a third degree laceration in the context of
childbirth.
A third degree laceration is the same as a first degree laceration.
A third degree laceration only affects the skin of the perineum.
A third degree laceration is a minor injury that does not require
medical attention.
A third degree laceration involves the anal sphincter, which can
impact bowel control and recovery.
, 10. How much protein does a pregnant woman need each day to build and
maintain new tissues?
At least 110 grams
50 grams
71 grams
35 grams
11. Loss of variability of a fetal heart rate is associated with
Fetal hypoxemia
Metabolic acidosis
Fetal neurologic injury
All of the above
12. If a pregnant woman has significantly elevated HCG levels, what steps
should healthcare providers take to assess her pregnancy further?
Advise the patient to increase her caloric intake.
Monitor only maternal health indicators.
Schedule a routine ultrasound without further tests.
Conduct further diagnostic tests to evaluate for multifetal
pregnancy or Down syndrome.
13. What is the recommended daily intake of folic acid for lactating women in
micrograms?
300
400
