Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a newborn who is 1 hour old and has a respiratory rate of 50 breaths per minute with periods of apnea lasting up to 10 seconds. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A respiratory rate of 50 breaths per minute with occasional periods of apnea lasting less than 15 seconds is normal for a newborn. The nurse should continue routine monitoring unless the apneic periods become prolonged or the newborn shows signs of respiratory distress.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is assessing a newborn who is 48 hr old and is experiencing opioid withdrawals. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Moderate tremors of the extremities are a common sign of opioid withdrawal in newborns. Other signs may include irritability, feeding difficulties, and gastrointestinal disturbances.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is caring for a newborn with hyperbilirubinemia. Which of the following interventions should be taken during phototherapy?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Phototherapy is used to reduce bilirubin levels in newborns with jaundice. However, the intense light can cause damage to the newborn's corneas and retinas. The use of an eye mask protects the infant's eyes while allowing the therapy to proceed. Regular monitoring of the newborn's temperature and hydration status is also important, but the eye mask is a key protective measure.

A nurse is caring for a client who is at 14 weeks of gestation and has hyperemesis gravidarum. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer?

Rationale: Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is often used to treat nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, including hyperemesis gravidarum, and is considered safe for use in pregnant clients.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is in the third trimester of pregnancy and has gestational diabetes. Which of the following complications is the fetus at risk for?
