Prepare for ATI Maternal Newborn Nursing assessments with this comprehensive exam review resource featuring exam-style questions, verified answers, and detailed rationales covering essential maternal, obstetric, and newborn nursing concepts. Designed for nursing students preparing for ATI examinations, maternity nursing coursework, and NCLEX-style assessments, this resource reinforces clinical judgment, patient safety, newborn assessment, prenatal monitoring, and evidence-based nursing interventions. The newborn assessment section examines expected findings immediately after birth, including acrocyanosis, the positive Babinski reflex, and the normal presence of two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein. Questions also address universal newborn screening requirements, feeding before specimen collection, and correct newborn bathing procedures, including eye care, umbilical cord care, and diaper-area cleansing. Maternal nursing topics include suspected placental abruption, the Kleihauer-Betke test, hyperemesis gravidarum, dehydration indicators, prenatal weight monitoring, and parvovirus B19 infection during pregnancy. These questions help reinforce the nurse’s ability to recognize abnormal assessment findings, identify appropriate diagnostic tests, report potential complications, and arrange appropriate fetal surveillance. Medication calculation content includes an IV infusion problem involving magnesium sulfate, concentration interpretation, dose-to-volume calculations, and infusion pump settings. Newborn safety questions emphasize staff identification, newborn identification procedures, and prevention of unauthorized infant removal.

,A nurse is performing a physical assessment of a newborn upon
admission to the
nursery. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
(Select all that apply.)


Yellow sclera
Acrocyanosis
Posterior fontanel larger than the anterior
fontanel Positive Babinski reflex
Two umbilical arteries visible




Acrocyanosis
Positive Babinski reflex
Two umbilical arteries visible


Acrocyanosis is correct. Acrocyanosis is an expected finding for at least the first
24 hr following birth. Poor peripheral perfusion leads to bluish discoloration in the
newborn's hands and feet.


Positive Babinski reflex is correct. Newborns should exhibit a positive
Babinski sign following birth. The nurse should stroke the newborn's foot upward
from the heel to the toes. The toes should hyperextend, and dorsal flexion of the
big toe should occur. The absence of this finding requires neurological evaluation.
The Babinski reflex is no longer present after 1 year of age.


Two umbilical arteries visible is correct. The nurse should observe two
arteries and one vein in the umbilical cord. The presence of only one artery can
indicate a renal anomaly.

,A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about collecting a specimen for
the
universal newborn screening. Which of the following statements should
the nurse include in the teaching?


-"Obtain an informed consent prior to obtaining the specimen."
-"Collect at least 1 milliliter of urine for the test."
-"Ensure that the newborn has been receiving feedings for 24 hours prior to obtaining
the specimen."
-"Premature newborns may have false negative tests due to immature development of
liver




"Ensure that the newborn has been receiving feedings for 24 hours prior to obtaining
the specimen."


The nurse should ensure that the newborn has been receiving regular feedings for at
least 24 hr prior to testing.


A nurse is demonstrating to a client how to bathe their newborn. In
which order should the nurse perform the following actions? (Move the
steps into the box on the right,
placing them in the selected order of performance. Use all the steps.)


1. Clean the newborn's diaper area.
2.Wash the newborn's neck by lifting the newborn's chin.
3.Wipe the newborn's eyes from the inner canthus outward.
4. Cleanse the skin around the newborn's umbilical cord stump.
5. Wash the newborn's legs and feet

, A nurse is caring for a client who is at 24 weeks of gestation and has a
suspected
placental abruption. Which of the following laboratory tests should
the nurse expect the provider to prescribe?


A. Kleihauer-Betke test
B. Progesterone serum level
C. Lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio
D. Maternal Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)


A. Kleihauer-Betke test


The nurse should expect the provider to prescribe a Kleihauer-Betke test for a client
who has suspected placental abruption to determine if fetal blood is in maternal
circulation.
This test is useful to determine if Rho-(D) immune globulin therapy should be
administered to a client who is Rh-negative.

A nurse is caring for a client who has hyperemesis gravidarum and is
receiving IV fluid replacement. Which of the following findings should the
nurse report to the provider?


BUN 25 mg/dL
Serum creatinine 0.8 mg/dL
Urine output of 280 mL within 8
hr Urine negative for ketones


BUN 25 mg/dL


The nurse should report an elevated BUN to the provider since it can indicate
dehydration.
