What the ATI PN Maternal / Newborn exam covers
The PN Maternal / Newborn content area spans pregnancy through the newborn period, scoped to what a practical/vocational nurse assists with and reinforces. The practice set spreads its questions across these areas.
Antepartum Care & Complications
Routine prenatal findings, nutrition and teaching (iron, nausea management), screening tests such as MSAFP and Pap smears, and warning signs of complications like preeclampsia, hyperemesis gravidarum and ectopic pregnancy.
Intrapartum Care
Recognizing emergencies such as umbilical cord prolapse, supporting the client through labor and pain-relief options like TENS, and knowing the first action to take in a precipitous delivery.
Postpartum Care
Fundal assessment, recognizing a full bladder as a cause of a displaced fundus, breastfeeding support, cesarean recovery, thrombophlebitis prevention, and postpartum hemorrhage medication safety.
Newborn Care
Thermoregulation and preventing evaporative heat loss, hypoglycemia risk factors and signs, phototherapy safety, respiratory distress findings, cord care, safe sleep, car seat safety and neonatal abstinence syndrome.
Medications, Contraception & Client Teaching
Iron supplements, betamethasone for fetal lung maturity, methotrexate teaching, contraindications for methylergonovine and combination oral contraceptives, and how contraceptive methods work.
Sample questions from the PN Maternal / Newborn practice set
Rationale: Umbilical cord prolapse is an obstetrical emergency. The immediate priority is to relieve pressure from the cord to maintain fetal perfusion; positioning the client knee-chest uses gravity to shift the presenting part off the cord.
Rationale: The newborn's eyes must be protected with an opaque eye shield to prevent retinal damage. Lotions are avoided because they can cause burns, and hydration should come from breast milk or formula.
Rationale: A fundus displaced above the umbilicus and to the right is the hallmark sign of a full bladder. Assisting the client to void resolves the displacement.
