Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who has signs of neonatal abstinence syndrome. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: C - Initiate seizure precautions.
Rationale: Infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome are at risk for seizures due to drug withdrawal. Initiating seizure precautions involves creating a safe environment to prevent injury during a seizure. This includes padding the crib, ensuring a clear space around the infant, and having emergency medications available. Monitoring blood glucose levels every hour (
A) is not directly related to neonatal abstinence syndrome. Placing the infant on his back with legs extended (
B) is a basic positioning technique and does not address the specific needs of a baby with neonatal abstinence syndrome. Providing a stimulating environment (
D) is contraindicated as it can exacerbate symptoms of withdrawal in the infant.
