Question 1 of 5
A nurse is developing a plan of care for a newborn whose mother tested positive for heroin during pregnancy. The newborn is experiencing neonatal abstinence syndrome. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Minimize noise in the newborn's environment. Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) occurs in newborns exposed to drugs in utero, leading to withdrawal symptoms. Minimizing noise helps reduce stimulation, promoting a calm environment for the newborn. Excessive noise can exacerbate symptoms such as irritability and hyperactivity. Swaddling the newborn with legs extended (choice
A) may restrict movement and worsen withdrawal symptoms. Administering naloxone (choice
B) is not indicated for NAS as it can precipitate withdrawal. Maintaining eye contact during feedings (choice
C) is beneficial for bonding but does not directly address NAS symptoms.
