Question 2 of 5
A newborn has a respiratory rate of 80 breaths/min, nasal flaring with sternal retractions, a heart rate of 120 beats/min, temperature of 36C and a persisting oxygen saturation of <87%. The nurse interprets these findings as:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The newborn's presentation with a respiratory rate of 80 breaths/min, nasal flaring with sternal retractions, a heart rate of 120 beats/min, and persisting low oxygen saturation (<87%) are indicative of respiratory distress. These signs suggest that the newborn is having difficulty breathing and may not be getting enough oxygen into their system. Respiratory distress in newborns is a serious condition that requires immediate attention and intervention to support breathing and oxygenation. It is crucial for healthcare providers to recognize and address respiratory distress promptly to prevent further complications.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning to teach a group of clients who are about breastfeeding after returning to work. Which of the following infection should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct information for breastfeeding after returning to work is that thawed breast milk that is unused should not be refrozen. Once breast milk has been thawed, it should be used within 24 hours and should not be refrozen. This is important to prevent contamination and maintain the quality of the breast milk for the baby. The other statements provided in the options are correct guidelines regarding the storage of breast milk. Thawed breast milk can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, breast milk can be stored in a deep freezer for up to 12 months, and breast milk can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 hours.
