HESI maternal Questions and Correct Answers
& Latest Updated
Which medication would the nurse identify as a potential cause for the formation of

abnormally small eyes in the newborn if used during pregnancy?

a. estrogens

b. nitrofurantoin

c. methotrexate

d. valproic acid


o :## b. nitrofurantoin



Nitrofurantoin, an antimicrobial medication, causes formation of abnormally small eyes in

the newborn. Sex hormone supplements, such as estrogens, may cause congenital defects

of female reproductive organs. Methotrexate can cause congenital abnormalities (central

nervous system and limbs malformations) and fetal death. Valproic acid is high teratogenic

and cause neural tube defects, atrial septal defect, cleft palate, hypospadias, polydactyly,

and craniosynostosis.

c. metoprolol

d. propranolol


o :## a. atenolol



Atenolol is contraindicated in lactating women because it enters the breastmilk and may

cause adverse effects to the neonate. Labetalol and propanolol are safe to administer during

lactation. Metoprolol is considered a safe medication to be taken during lactation




Which hormone levels do not require monitoring during the ministration of menotropins for

infertility?

a. estrogen

b. luteinizing hormone

c. follicle-stimulating hormone

d. gonadotropin-releasing hormone


o :## d. gonadotropin-releasing hormone



Menotropins that are administered for infertility act at the pituitary level. Gonadotropin-

releasing hormones act at the hypothalamus level; therefore this hormone does not need to

be monitored. Menotropins is a standardized mixture of follicle-stimulating hormone and

luteinizing; these hormones should be monitored. Also, estrogen levels need to be

monitored because the luteinizing hormone directly stimulates the production of estrogen

Which birth control agent requires administration once every three months?

A. Progestin-only pills

B. Intramuscular progestin

C. Combination biphasic forms

D. Combination monophasic forms


o :## b. intramuscular progestin



Intramuscular progestin requires the administration of a single injection every three

months. Progressed-only oral contraceptive pills should be taken on a daily basis because of

a higher incidence of ovulatory cycles. Combination biphasic and monophasic forms are

administered as either a 21 or 28 day course.

labor and has a stomach protectant?

a. raloxifene

b. clomiphene

c. misoprostol

d. dinoprostone


o :## c. misoprostol



Misoprostol can be used for cervical ripening and as a stomach protectant. Raloxifene is

used to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. Clomiphene is used for ovulation.

Dinoprostone can be used for cervical ripening, but this medication does not act as a

stomach protectant.




Which effect with the nurse identify as seen when the fetus is exposed to a teratogen during

embryonic period?

a. delay in growth

b. gross malformations

c. death of the conceptus

d. disruption of brain development


o :## b. gross malformations



Gross malformations occur if there is exposure to a teratogen during the embryonic period

or the first trimester. During the fetal period, exposure to a teratogen causes delays in

growth and development of the fetus. Death of the conceptus occurs if exposed to a lethal

dose of teratogen during the pre-implantation period. Exposure to a teratogen during the

fetal period (second or third trimester) causes disruption of brain development.




Which medication may be used to treat postpartum hemorrhage?

a. clomiphene
