Maternal-Newborn chapter 5 test bankQuestions and Correct Answers
An expectant father asks the nurse, "Which part of the mature sperm contains the male chromosome?"
What is the correct response by the nurse?
A: X-bearing sperm
B: the tail of the sperm
C: the head of the sperm
D: the middle portion of the sperm - correct answers:C: the head of the sperm
The head of the sperm contains the male chromosomes that will join the chromosomes of the ovum. If
an X-bearing sperm fertilizes the ovum, the baby will be female. The tail of the sperm helps propel the
sperm toward the ovum. The middle portion of the sperm supplies energy for the tail's whip-like action.
One of the assessments performed in the birth room is checking the umbilical cord for blood vessels.
Which finding is considered to be within normal limits?
A: one artery and one vein
B: two veins and one artery
C: two arteries and one vein
D: two arteries and two veins - correct answers:C: two arteries and one vein
The umbilical cord contains two arteries and one vein to transport blood between the fetus and the
placenta. Any option other than two arteries and one vein is considered abnormal and requires further
assessment. Two veins and one artery is abnormal and may indicate an anomaly. Two arteries instead is
a normal finding; this infant would require further assessment for anomalies due to the finding of two
veins.
Some of the embryo's intestines remain within the umbilical cord during the embryonic period because
the:
, A: intestines need this time to grow until week 15
B: nutrient content of the blood is higher in this location
C: abdomen is too small to contain all the organs while they are developing
D: umbilical cord is much larger at this time than it will be at the end of pregnancy - correct answers:C:
abdomen is too small to contain all the organs while they are developing
The abdominal contents grow more rapidly than the abdominal cavity, so part of their development
takes place in the umbilical cord. By 10 weeks, the abdomen is large enough to contain them. The
intestines remain within the umbilical cord only until about week 10. Blood supply is adequate in all
areas; intestines stay in the umbilical cord for about 10 weeks because they are growing faster than the
abdomen. Intestines begin their development within the umbilical cord, but only because the liver and
kidneys occupy most of the abdominal cavity, not because of the size of the umbilical cord.
A patient who is 16 weeks pregnant with her first baby asks how long it will be before she feels the baby
move. Which is the nurse's best answer?
A: "you should have felt the baby move by now."
B: "the baby is moving, but you can't feel it yet."
C: "some babies are quiet and you don't feel them move."
D: "within the next month you should start to feel fluttering sensations." - correct answers:D: "within the
next month you should start to feel fluttering sensations."
Maternal perception of fetal movement (quickening) usually begins between 17 and 20 weeks after
conception. Because this is her first pregnancy, movement is felt toward the later part of the 17 to 20
weeks. "The baby is moving, but you can't feel it yet" may be alarming to the woman. "Some babies are
quiet and you don't feel them move" is a true statement; the fetus' movements are not strong enough to
be felt until 17 to 20 weeks; however, this statement does not answer the woman's concern. Fetal
movement should be felt between 17 and 20 weeks; if movement is not perceptible by the end of that
time, further assessment will be necessary.
Which statement best describes the changes that occur during the fetal period of development?
A: maturation of organ systems
