The Neonate Verified Questions and Answers100% Correct | 2025
Sick and preterm neonates who experience continuity of nursing care directly
benefit from - ANSWER nursing recognition of subtle changes in high-risk
neonates' conditions.
Continuity of care allows the nurse to observe subtle changes in a neonate's
condition. Although nurses and parents experience higher levels of satisfaction
and professional liability may decline, these results aren't direct benefits to the
neonate.
Which intervention should the nurse anticipate using when caring for a term
neonate diagnosed with transient tachypnea at 2 hours after birth? - ANSWER
Provide warm, humidified oxygen in a warm environment.
Symptoms of transient tachypnea include respirations as high as 150
breaths/minute, retractions, flaring, and cyanosis. Treatment is supportive and
includes provision of warm, humidified oxygen in a warm environment. The nurse
should continuously monitor the neonate's respirations, color, and behaviors to
allow for early detection and prompt intervention should problems arise. Feedings
are given by gavage rather than bottle to decrease respiratory stress. Obtaining
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation equipment is not necessary but may be
used for the neonate diagnosed with meconium aspiration syndrome.
The nurse is assessing a neonate born to a mother with type 1 diabetes. Which
finding is expected? - ANSWER large size
, A woman gave birth to a term neonate a short time ago and has requests that a
"special bracelet" be placed on the baby's wrist. What should the nurse do? -
ANSWER Apply the bracelet on the neonate's wrist as the mother requests.
Which action would be most appropriate after assessing a neonate's cry as
infrequent, weak, and very high pitched? - ANSWER Notify the primary care
provider because this may indicate a neurologic problem.
A nurse assesses a 1-day-old neonate. Which finding indicates respiratory
distress? - ANSWER nasal flaring
Signs of respiratory distress include a respiratory rate above 60 breaths/minute,
labored respirations, grunting, nasal flaring, generalized cyanosis, and retractions.
Abdominal breathing is a normal finding in neonates. Acrocyanosis (a bluish tinge
to the hands and feet) is normal on the first day after birth.
Which situations should a supervisor consider in making assignments for nurses in
the neonatal unit? - ANSWER A pregnant nurse shouldn't care for a neonate
with cytomegalovirus (CMV).
After the birth of her first neonate, a mother asks the nurse about the reddened
areas at the nape of the neonate's neck. How should the nurse respond? -
ANSWER "They're normal and will disappear as the baby's skin thickens."
Capillary hemangioma (also called a "stork bite") may appear on the neonate's
upper eyelids, the bridge of the nose, or the nape of the neck. They result from
vascular congestion and will disappear as the skin thickens. They are not
associated with congenital abnormalities, traumatic delivery, or blocked apocrine
glands.
