Question 3 of 5
When planning care for a newborn with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula, which is the priority nursing diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The priority nursing diagnosis for a newborn with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula is 'Risk for Aspiration' because of the potential respiratory complications associated with these conditions. The newborn is at a higher risk of aspirating oral or gastric contents due to the abnormal connections between the esophagus and trachea, posing a serious threat to the airway and lungs. Addressing this risk is crucial to prevent respiratory distress and maintain the airway's patency, making it the priority nursing diagnosis in this scenario.
Question 4 of 5
A child returns from exploratory surgery following a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Which nursing intervention should be excluded from the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Immediate initiation of oral feedings is contraindicated post-abdominal surgery due to the risk of bowel complications such as paralytic ileus or anastomotic leak. Starting oral feedings immediately can increase the risk of these complications and hinder the healing process. It is crucial to wait until bowel function returns and the patient shows signs of tolerance before introducing oral feedings. Assessment of the surgical site, administration of opioid narcotics for pain management, and visitation at the bedside are essential components of postoperative care and should not be excluded.
