ATI PROCTORED MATERNITY EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 100% PASS
Fetal fibronectin - CORRECT ANSWER -Protein related to placental inflammation that may be
present leading up to preterm birth
Preterm labor - CORRECT ANSWER -Put on bedrest, left-lateral position, prevent dehydration.
Give nifedipine to stop contractions and Mag sulfate to relax smooth muscle. Indomethacin is
an NSAID that suppresses preterm labor and Betamethasone is given IM to improve fetal lung
maturity. Terbutaline is also used but may cause hypokalemia.
Rupture of membranes - CORRECT ANSWER -Immediately start FHR monitoring for cord
prolapse and then measure temperature every 1-2 hours.
Hypoglycemia - CORRECT ANSWER -Less than 40 mg/dl, poor feeding, jitteriness, hypothermia,
weak cry, lethargy, flaccidity, seizures, cyanosis, apnea
Physiologic Jaundice vs Pathologic - CORRECT ANSWER -Physiologic shows up 72 hours after
birth whereas pathologic shows up before the first 24 hours and persists after day 10 - 14.
Endometriosis - CORRECT ANSWER -Tender uterus and foul-smelling lochia
Anaphylactoid Syndrome - CORRECT ANSWER -When the amniotic fluid enters the maternal

Normal L/S ratio - CORRECT ANSWER -2. indicates lung maturity
Normal infant vitals - CORRECT ANSWER -HR: 110-160
RR: 30-60
