Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is at 40 weeks of gestation and is in labor. The client’s ultrasound examination indicates that the fetus is small for gestational age (SGA). Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care after birth?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Observe for meconium in respiratory secretions. This is important because infants who are small for gestational age (SG
A) are at increased risk for meconium aspiration syndrome due to their underdeveloped lungs. Meconium in respiratory secretions can lead to respiratory distress and requires immediate intervention.


Choice B, monitoring for hyperthermia, is incorrect as it is not specifically related to SGA infants.
Choice C, identifying manifestations of anemia, is also incorrect as SGA infants may have normal hematologic parameters.
Choice D, monitoring for hyperglycemia, is not directly associated with SGA infants and is more relevant to infants of diabetic mothers.
