Pediatric Respiratory Nursing Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is evaluating a newborn's circumcision 30 minutes after the procedure. The nurse notes excessive bleeding coming from the circumcised area. Which priority intervention should the nurse implement at this time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Excessive bleeding after a circumcision is a serious concern as infants have a small total blood volume. Applying pressure to the site is the correct intervention to stop the bleeding. Continuing to observe could lead to additional blood loss. Tightening the diaper or applying petroleum jelly will not address the bleeding issue effectively.
Question 2 of 5
During a prenatal education class regarding infant home care, the nurse is reviewing the simulated setting created by new mothers for putting the baby to bed. Which observation indicates to the nurse that the new mothers understood the nurse's teaching about infant safety?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because infants should be positioned on their back for sleep to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Placing soft items like bumper pads, blankets, and stuffed animals in the crib can pose a suffocation hazard. The supine position is the safest sleeping position for infants, as indicated by the baby mannequin being in that position. The handmade quilt covering the baby mannequin is not safe and could increase the risk of SIDS.
Question 3 of 5
How should the nurse explain milk supply and demand when responding to the question, Will I produce enough milk for my baby as she grows and needs more milk at each feeding?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The amount of milk produced depends on the amount of stimulation of the breast. Increased demand with more frequent and longer breastfeeding sessions results in more milk available for the infant. Solids should not be added until about 4 to 6 months, when the infant's immune system is more mature. This will decrease the chance of allergy formations. Mature breast milk will stay the same. The amounts will increase as the infant feeds for longer times. Supplementation will decrease the amount of stimulation of the breast and decrease the milk production.
Question 4 of 5
Which is the most useful factor in preventing premature birth?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Adequate prenatal care is the most useful factor in preventing premature birth. This is because prenatal care can help identify and address possible problems early on. While programs like Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) can assist with the nutritional needs of pregnant women, they do not directly prevent premature birth. Seeking adequate prenatal care is vital for preventing preterm labor.
