Question 1 of 5

During the first few minutes after birth which physiologic changes occurs in the newborn as response to vascular pressure changes in increased oxygen levels?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Immediately after birth, as the newborn takes its first breaths and transitions to breathing air, there is a rapid increase in oxygen levels in the blood. This sudden increase in oxygen causes the pulmonary vessels in the newborn's lungs to dilate. This dilation helps improve blood flow through the lungs, allowing for efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The dilation of pulmonary vessels is a normal physiologic response to the changing environment in the newborn's body after birth.
