Question 3 of 5
Which action by the nurse can result in hyperthermia in the newborn?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Placing the newborn in a radiant warmer without attaching the skin probe can result in hyperthermia because the temperature regulation mechanism may not function properly, leading to overheating. Proper monitoring and use of equipment are essential to prevent hyperthermia in newborns. The other options, such as placing a cap on the newborn, wrapping the newborn in a warm blanket, or placing the newborn in a skin-to-skin position with the mother, do not typically result in hyperthermia if done correctly.

Question 5 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.
