HESI OB Maternity 2023 Version 1 (V1) Exit Exam With 100% ACCURATE ANSWERS

HESI OB Maternity 2023 Version 1 (V1) Exit Exam With 100% ACCURATE ANSWERS 1) A client is admitted to the labor and delivery unit with contractions that are 3- 5 minutes apart, lasting 60-70 seconds. She reports that she is leaking fluid. A vaginal exam reveals that her cervix is 80 percent effaced and 4 cm dilated and a -1 station. The LPN/LVN knows that theclient is in which phase and stage of labor? A) Latent phase, First Stage B) Active Phase of First Stage C) Latent phase of Second Stage D) Transition 2) To assess uterine contractions the LPN/LVN would A) Asses duration from the beginning of the contraction to the peak ofthe same contraction, frequency by measuring the time between the beginning of one contraction to the beginning of the next contraction. B) Assess frequency as the time between the end of one contraction andthe beginning of the next contraction, duration as the length of time from the beginning to the end of contractions, and palpate the uterus forstrength C) Assess duration from beginning to end of each contraction. Assessthe strength of the contraction by the external fetal monitor reading. Measure frequency by measuring the beginning of one contraction toanother. D) Assess duration from beginning to end of each contraction., frequency by measuring the time between the beginnings of contractions, and palpate the fundus of the uterus for strength. 3) Which basic type of pelvis includes the correct description and percentageof occurrence in women? A) Platypelloid: flattened, wide, shallow; 3% B) Anthropoid: resembling the ape; narrower; 10% C) Android: resembling the male; wider oval; 15% D) Gynecoid: classic female; heart shaped; 75% Ans: A) Platypelloid: flattened, wide, shallow; 3% 4) What position would be least effective when gravity is desired toassist in fetal descent? A) Lithotomy B) Walking C) Kneeling D) Sitting 5) The factors that affect the process of labor and birth, known commonly as the five Ps, include all EXCEPT: A) Passageway. B) Powers. C) Passenger. D) Pressure. :: The 5 P's are: 1. Powers (contractions) 2. Passengers (fetus & placenta) 3. Passageway (birth canal) 4. Position (of the mother) 5. Psychological Response 6) While evaluating an external monitor tracing of a woman in active labor, the nurse notes that the fetal heart rate (FHR) for five sequentialcontractions begins to decelerate late in the contraction, with the nadirof the decelerations occurring after the peak of the contraction. The LPN/LVN first priority is to: A) Notify the care provider. B) Assist with amnioinfusion C) Change the woman's position D) Insert a scalp electrode. 7) During labor a fetus with an average heart rate of 175 beats/min overa 15- minute period would be considered to have: A) A normal baseline heart rate. B) Bradycardia. C) Hypoxia. D) Tachycardia. 8) As a perinatal LPN/LVN you realize that a fetal heart rate that is tachycardic, is bradycardic, or has late decelerations with loss of variability is nonreassuring and is associated with A) Cord compression B) Hypotension C) Hypoxemia/acidemia D) Maternal drug use. 9) The LPN/LVN providing care for the laboring woman should understandthat amnioinfusion is used to treat: A) Fetal tachycardia. B) Fetal bradycardia. C) Variable decelerations D) Late decelerations. 10) The most common cause of decreased variability in the fetal heart rate(FHR) that lasts 30 minutes or less is: A) Fetal hypoxemia B) Fetal sleep cycles C) Altered cerebral blood flow. D) Umbilical cord compression. 11) While evaluating an external monitor tracing of a woman in activelabor whose labor is being induced, the nurse notes that the fetal heart rate (FHR) begins to decelerate in a slow curve at the onset of several contractions and returns to baseline before each contraction ends. The LPN/LVN should: A) Insert an internal monitor B) Document the finding in the client's record. C) Discontinue the oxytocin infusion D) Change the woman's position 12) What three measures should the nurse implement to provide intrauterine resuscitation? Select the response that best indicates the priority of actions that should be taken. A) Reposition the mother, increase intravenous (IV) fluid, and provideoxygen via face mask. B) Perform a vaginal examination, reposition the mother, and provideoxygen via face mask. C) Administer oxygen to the mother, increase IV fluid, and notify thecare provider. D) Call the provider, reposition the mother, and perform a vaginal examination 13) When using intermittent auscultation (IA) to assess uterine activity, LPN/LVN should be aware that: A) The resting tone between contractions is described as either placid or turbulent B) The examiner's hand should be placed over the fundus before, during, and after contractions. C) The frequency and duration of contractions is measured in second
