CCRN NEONATAL CERTIFICATION PRACTICE EXAM(LATEST ANNUAL AACN PRACTICE EXAM 2022/2023)

Define the term deformation (correct answers)abnormality caused by unusual mechanical forces on normal tissue. A low birth weight infant's temperature increases during skin-to-skin care. This is an example of heat transfer by (correct answers)conduction. At the onset of labor the release of catecholamines stimulates (correct answers)increased absorption of lung fluid. An edematous, bruised lesion on the right anterior scalp where the vacuum was applied. This lesion has clearly demarcated edges, is firm to touch, and does not cross the suture line. This is best described as a (correct answers)cephalohematoma. An infant born at 40 5/7 weeks gestation and weighed 5 lbs 2oz (2,360 grams). In completing a gestational age assessment on this infant, you would identify her as (correct answers)term, small for gestational age.During fetal life, the ductus arteriosus (correct answers)diverts blood flow from the pulmonary artery to the descending aorta. Expected findings in a neonate born to a mother who received magnesium sulfate in labor include (correct answers)hypotonia. Eye prophylaxis with a single-use dose of sterile ophthalmic ointment containing 1% tetracycline or 0.5% erythromycin is usually administered within the first few hours of birth to prevent an eye infection caused by (correct answers)gonorrhea. Following a birth complicated by shoulder dystocia, the neonate should be assessed for (correct answers)Erb's palsy. Preeclampsia may result in all of the following fetal conditions (correct answers)growth restriction, hypoxia/neurological injury, prematurity. Hyperthermia is defined as an axillary temperature greater than 99.5ºF (37.5ºC). The MOST common cause of hyperthermia in the newborn is (correct answers)environmental. In the immediate newborn transition period, the ability to maintain functional residual lung capacity is most dependent upon (correct answers)an adequate amount of alveolar surfactant.Neonates at risk of hypoglycemia should have their glucose levels evaluated within 2 hours of life because (correct answers)blood glucose levels reach their lowest point within one to two hours after delivery
