Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Acrocyanosis is a common and benign condition in newborn infants characterized by temporary blueness or cyanosis of the hands, feet, and sometimes the face. This blueness is caused by the temporary constriction of blood vessels in those areas, resulting in reduced blood flow and less oxygen reaching the skin. Acrocyanosis typically resolves on its own and does not indicate any serious health concerns in newborns. It is important for healthcare providers to reassure parents that acrocyanosis is a normal phenomenon in newborns and does not require treatment.

Question 6 of 9
A nurse is planning care for a newborn who has neonatal abstinence syndrome. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) occurs in newborns who were exposed to addictive drugs in utero, commonly seen in infants born to mothers with substance use disorders. These babies often experience withdrawal symptoms such as tremors, irritability, and difficulty sleeping. Swaddling the newborn in a flexed position can help provide comfort and security to the infant, which may help alleviate some of the withdrawal symptoms they are experiencing. This intervention can also mimic the snug environment of the womb, promoting a sense of calmness for the newborn. It is important to create a soothing environment to aid in the management of NAS symptoms.
Question 7 of 9
The nurse assigned to the care of newborn infants understands the importance of keeping these infants swaddled in a warm blanket to prevent heat loss. Why is this important in the care of the newborn?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Swaddling newborn infants in a warm blanket is important to prevent heat loss (hypothermia) because when babies become chilled, they must produce more heat to maintain a normal body temperature. This increased heat production leads to higher oxygen needs, which can be detrimental to newborns who may already have limited reserves. Therefore, keeping newborn infants swaddled in a warm blanket helps to maintain their body temperature within a normal range and prevents unnecessary stress on their bodies.
