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: In a precipitous delivery the nurse stays with the client and applies gentle counter-pressure to the fetal head to control a slower, controlled delivery and reduce perineal trauma. The client should pant rather than push forcefully, and the nurse should not leave the room once delivery is imminent.
Rationale: Infants of mothers with gestational diabetes are at increased risk for hypoglycemia after birth due to high fetal insulin production in response to maternal hyperglycemia. Jitteriness, a weak cry, and poor feeding are classic signs and warrant a blood glucose check.
Rationale: A boggy uterus with heavy bleeding suggests uterine atony, the most common cause of postpartum hemorrhage. The priority action is to massage the fundus to stimulate contraction and control bleeding.
