Pediatric Respiratory Nursing Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
To determine an adverse response to carboprost tromethamine (Hemabate), the nurse should frequently assess
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Carboprost tromethamine (Hemabate) can potentially cause pulmonary edema as an adverse effect. Therefore, frequent assessment of breath sounds is crucial to detect this complication. Monitoring temperature, lochial flow, and fundal height will not provide information about potential adverse effects of the medication.
Question 2 of 5
During fetal circulation the pressure is greatest in the
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pressure in fetal circulation is greatest in the right atrium, allowing right-to-left shunting to bypass the lungs during intrauterine life. The pressure increases in the left atrium after birth. The liver does not filter blood during fetal life until the end. Blood bypasses the pulmonary vein during fetal life.

Question 4 of 5
Most newborns receive a prophylactic injection of vitamin K soon after birth. Which site is optimal for the newborn?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the vastus lateralis muscle is located away from important nerves and blood vessels, making it the optimal site for injections in newborns. Gluteal muscles are not recommended until a child has been walking for at least a year. The rectus femoris muscle is closer to nerves and blood vessels, posing a greater risk. The deltoid muscle is not recommended for newborn injections.
Question 5 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.
