Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
What should the new breastfeeding mother be instructed to do?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Engorgement occurs when the breasts are not adequately emptied at each feeding or if feedings are not frequent enough. Breast milk moves through the stomach within 1.5 to 2 hours, therefore waiting 4 hours to feed is too long. Frequent feedings are important to empty the breast and establish lactation. Fluid intake should not be limited with a breastfeeding mother; that would decrease the amount of breast milk produced. Warm packs should be applied to the breast before feedings.
Question 2 of 5
Which statement regarding newborns classified as small for gestational age (SGA) is accurate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because SGA infants are defined as below the tenth percentile in growth when compared with other infants of the same gestational age. SGA is not defined by weight. Infants born before 38 weeks are classified as preterm. There are many factors that contribute to the development of an SGA infant, not just placental malfunction.
Question 3 of 5
Which intervention will increase the effectiveness in reducing the indirect bilirubin in an affected newborn?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Turning the infant every 2 hours can increase the effectiveness of phototherapy in reducing indirect bilirubin levels. This intervention helps expose all parts of the skin to the phototherapy. The other options either do not directly impact bilirubin reduction or may hinder the effectiveness of phototherapy.
