Question 3 of 5
When assessing a newborn baby
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should observe standard precautions when handling a neonate until all blood and amniotic fluid has been removed to avoid possible infection. Then the nurse can take the baby and suction the babys mouth and then the nares if needed. Auscultating the babys heart and lungs will occur later. The parents may not name the baby immediately but even if they have recording the name would not take priority over using standard precautions to prevent the spread of disease.

Question 5 of 5
A neonates 5-minute Apgar assessment reveals the following: active motion; pulse
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The babys 5-minute Apgar score is 8 (motion 2; pulse 2; grimace 2; appearance 1; respirations 1). If a 5-minute Apgar score is less than 9 the nurse should stabilize the infant instead of leaving the baby with the parents in the birthing unit. Because it appears that this babys problems are related to either oxygenation or perfusion the nurse should assess the oximetry reading and administer oxygen if needed.
