NCLEX Pediatric Respiratory Nursing Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the most serious consequence of propping an infant's bottle?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Propping the bottle increases the likelihood of choking and aspiration if regurgitation occurs, which can be a life-threatening situation for the infant. While colic, dental caries, and ear infections are concerning, aspiration poses the most immediate danger to the infant's health and well-being. It is important to educate parents on the risks associated with propping bottles to ensure the safety of the child.
Question 2 of 5
An infant presents with lethargy in the newborn nursery on the second day of life. On further examination, vital signs are stable and muscle tone is slightly decreased, with sluggish reflexes noted. Other physical characteristics are noted as being normal. Lab tests reveal a decreased hematocrit and increased blood sugar. The nurse suspects that the infant may be exhibiting signs and symptoms of
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The signs and symptoms described, such as lethargy, decreased muscle tone and reflexes, decreased hematocrit, hyperglycemia, and acidosis, are consistent with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) or periventricular hemorrhage (PIVH). If the infant had respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), there would be more respiratory symptoms present. If the infant had retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), there would be signs and symptoms related to the eyes.
Question 3 of 5
While in utero, the fetus passes meconium. Based on this assessment, which nursing diagnosis takes priority for the newborn at birth?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The fetus passing meconium in utero indicates a high-risk labor and birth scenario, increasing the likelihood of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). Therefore, the priority nursing diagnosis is the risk for aspiration related to retained secretions, as airway complications take precedence in terms of nursing diagnosis and medical management.
