NCLEX Pediatric Respiratory Nursing Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which preterm infant should receive gavage feedings instead of bottle feedings?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Infants less than 34 weeks of gestation or those who weigh less than 1500g generally have difficulty with bottle-feeding. Gavage feedings should be initiated if the respiratory rate is above 60 breaths per minute. In this case, a sustained respiratory rate of 70 breaths per minute indicates the need for gavage feedings to ensure proper nutrition and avoid respiratory distress.
Question 2 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.
