Nursing Care of Pediatrics Respiratory Disorders Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Infants should be transported in the hallways only in their cribs. In many facilities babies are cared for in the mother's room, rather than a well-baby nursery. Infants need to spend time with the parents to facilitate the bonding process and facilitate learning. It is impossible for one nurse to be on call for one mother and baby for the entire shift; therefore the parents need to be able to identify all of the staff that will be caring for them. Most maternity units have special identification badges unique to that area. All patients should be oriented to these identification badges.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Transporting infants in the hallways only in their cribs ensures their safety and security. It also follows standard procedures in maternity units. Spending time with parents is important for bonding, so option C is incorrect. Parents should be able to identify staff for safety measures, making option D incorrect. Option A is incorrect as strollers are not typically used for transporting infants in hospital settings.
Question 2 of 5
Which intervention should be included in the home care of a high-risk infant?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: High-risk infants may require continued respiratory support and oxygen even after discharge. Feeding on a strict schedule is not necessary, and positioning the infant on the side or back is more appropriate. Cleaning the umbilical cord with alcohol several times a day is not recommended as it can delay healing and increase infection risk.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is an important consideration in positioning a newborn for breastfeeding?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A - Placing the infant at nipple level facing the breast. This positioning helps prevent nipple trauma by avoiding downward pulling. Keeping the infant's head lower, using fingers to support the breast, and limiting areola intake are not important considerations and may actually hinder effective breastfeeding.
Question 4 of 5
A mother is attempting to breastfeed her infant in the hospital setting. The infant is sleepy and displays some audible swallowing, the maternal nipples are flat, and the breasts are soft. The nurse has attempted to teach the mother positioning on one side, and now the mother wants to place the infant to the breast on the other side. Based on LATCH scores, what score would the nurse assign to this feeding session?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because based on the LATCH assessment tool, a score of 6 indicates that the mother will need additional assistance during breastfeeding at this time. It is important to provide further teaching and support to ensure successful breastfeeding for both the mother and the infant.
