MATERNITY HESI TEST BANK (COMBINED RED
HESI AND OTHER SOURCES) 2024 QUESTIONS
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
{PROVIDES RATIONALE FOR EACH QUESTION}
An expectant father tells the nurse he fears that his wife is "losing her mind." He states
that she is constantly rubbing her abdomen and talking to the baby and that she actually
reprimands the baby when it moves too much. Which recommendation should the nurse
make to this expectant father?
A.Suggest that his wife seek professional counseling to deal with her symptoms.
B.Explain that his wife is exhibiting ambivalence about the pregnancy.
C. Ask him to report similar abnormal behaviors at the next prenatal visit.
D.Reassure him that normal maternal-fetal bonding is occurring. - CORRECT
ANSWER D) Reassure him that normal maternal-fetal bonding is occurring.
Rationale:
These behaviors are positive signs of maternal-fetal bonding and do not reflect
ambivalence. No intervention is needed. Quickening, the first perception of fetal
movement, occurs at 17 to 20 weeks of gestation and begins a new phase of prenatal
bonding during the second trimester. Options A and C are not necessary because the
behaviors displayed are normal.


The nurse is preparing a laboring client for an amniotomy. Immediately after the
procedure is completed, it is most important for the nurse to obtain which information?


A.Maternal blood pressure
B.Maternal temperature
C.Fetal heart rate (FHR)
D.White blood cell count (WBC) - CORRECT ANSWER C. Fetal heart rate (FHR)
Rationale:

{PROVIDES RATIONALE FOR EACH QUESTION}
The FHR should be assessed before and after the procedure to detect changes that may
indicate the presence of cord compression or prolapse. An amniotomy (artificial rupture
of membranes [AROM]) is used to stimulate labor when the condition of the cervix is
favorable. The fluid should be assessed for color, odor, and consistency. Option A should
be assessed every 15 to 20 minutes during labor but is not specific for AROM. Option B
is monitored hourly after the membranes are ruptured to detect the development of
amnionitis. Option D should be determined for all clients in labor.


A nurse receives a shift change report for a newborn who is 12 hours post-vaginal
delivery. In developing a plan of care, the nurse should give the highest priority to which
finding?


A.Cyanosis of the hands and feet


B.Skin color that is slightly jaundiced


C.Tiny white papules on the nose or chin


D.Red patches on the cheeks and trunk - CORRECT ANSWER B. Skin color that is
slightly jaundiced


Rationale: Jaundice, a yellow skin coloration, is caused by elevated levels of bilirubin,
which should be further evaluated in a newborn <24 hours old. Acrocyanosis (blue color
of the hands and feet) is a common finding in newborns; it occurs because the capillary

system is immature. Milia are small white papules present on the nose and chin that are
caused by sebaceous gland blockage and disappear in a few weeks. Small red patches on
the cheeks and trunk are called erythema toxicum neonatorum, a common finding in
newborns.


A breastfeeding postpartum client is diagnosed with mastitis, and antibiotic therapy is
prescribed. Which instruction should the nurse provide to this client?


A.Breastfeed the infant, ensuring that both breasts are completely emptied.


B.Feed expressed breast milk to avoid the pain of the infant latching onto the infected
breast.


C.Breastfeed on the unaffected breast only until the mastitis subsides.


D.Dilute expressed breast milk with sterile water to reduce the antibiotic effect on the
infant. - CORRECT ANSWER A.Breastfeed the infant, ensuring that both breasts are
completely emptied.


Rationale:Mastitis, caused by plugged milk ducts, is related to breast engorgement, and
breastfeeding during mastitis facilitates the complete emptying of engorged breasts,
eliminating the pressure on the inflamed breast tissue. Option B is less painful but does
not facilitate complete emptying of the breast tissue. Option C will not relieve the

engorgement on the affected side. Option D will not decrease antibiotic effects on the
infant.
A 38-week primigravida who works as a secretary and sits at a computer 8 hours each
day tells the nurse that her feet have begun to swell. Which instruction will aid in the
prevention of pooling of blood in the lower extremities?


A.Wear support stockings.


B.Reduce salt in the diet.


C.Move about every hour.


D.Avoid constrictive clothing. - CORRECT ANSWER C.Move about every hour.


Rationale:
Pooling of blood in the lower extremities results from the enlarged uterus exerting
pressure on the pelvic veins. Moving about every hour will relieve pressure on the pelvic
veins and increase venous return. Option A would increase venous return from varicose
veins in the lower extremities but would be of little help with swelling. Option B might
be helpful with generalized edema but is not specific for edematous lower extremities.
Option D does not address venous return, and there is no indication in the question that
constrictive clothing is a problem.
