Question 1 of 5

A newborn infant in the nursery has developed vomiting, poor feeding, lethargy, and respiratory distress, and has been diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis. Which of the following nursing interventions is most appropriate for this infant?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NE
C) is a serious condition characterized by ischemic bowel, leading to gastrointestinal symptoms, lethargy, poor feeding, and respiratory distress. In the management of NEC, it is crucial to stop oral feedings, insert a nasogastric tube for decompression, and administer antibiotics as prescribed by the physician.
Therefore, the most appropriate nursing intervention for an infant with NEC is to administer antibiotics as ordered.

Choice A, feeding the infant sterile water, is incorrect because oral feedings should be stopped in NEC.
Choice B, positioning the infant on his back, is not directly related to the treatment of NEC.
Choice D, allowing the infant to breastfeed, is contraindicated in NEC as oral feedings should be ceased to prevent further complications.
