Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for newborn who is 1 hr old and has a respiratory rate of 50/min, a heart rate of 130/min, and an auxiliary temperature of 36.1*C (97F). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Apply a cap to the newborn's head. This action helps prevent heat loss through the newborn's head, which is a common area for heat loss in newborns. The respiratory rate of 50/min and heart rate of 130/min are within normal ranges for a newborn. The temperature of 36.1°C (97°F) is slightly lower than the normal range, so keeping the newborn warm is important. Giving a warm bath (choice
A) may further decrease the newborn's body temperature. Repositioning the newborn (choice
C) may not address the issue of heat loss. Obtaining an oxygen saturation level (choice
D) is not indicated based on the information provided.
Therefore, applying a cap to the newborn's head is the most appropriate action to help maintain the newborn's body temperature and prevent heat loss.
