Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from an infant whose guardian reports worsening symptoms. The infant has a cough productive of very thick white mucus. Upon auscultation, wheezes are heard bilaterally on inspiration and expiration. Moderate substernal and subcostal retractions are noted. Mucous membranes are pink, and a large amount of clear to white nasal discharge is noted. Capillary refill is 2 to 3 seconds. The guardian states the infant has difficulty feeding, often vomits, and has not had a wet diaper for 8 hours. During coughing episodes, mucous membranes are cyanotic, and oxygen saturation decreases. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Administering oxygen therapy addresses hypoxemia from cyanosis and low saturation, the priority to prevent hypoxic injury. Hydration, positioning, and intubation are secondary.
