Newborn with transient tachypnea (TTN)
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is explaining TTN to the newborn's mother. Which statement indicates that the mother understands the teaching?

Question 2 of 5
What is a sign that a newborn may be at risk for meconium aspiration syndrome?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Yellow-green umbilical cord staining indicates meconium in amniotic fluid, a risk for aspiration. Asymmetrical breathing suggests diaphragmatic hernia, preterm birth relates to RDS, and acrocyanosis is normal.
Extract:
Newborn small for gestational age
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the mother of a newborn who is small for gestational age. Which of the following should the nurse include as a cause of this condition?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placental insufficiency restricts nutrient and oxygen delivery, causing SGA. Primipara slightly increases low birth weight risk, obesity links to LGA, and asphyxia is a complication, not a cause.

Question 4 of 5
Which assessment findings may cause the nurse to suspect a brachial plexus injury?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 12 hours postpartum. The nurse recognizes the client is in the dependent, taking-in phase of maternal postpartum adjustment. Which of the following is an expected finding during this period?
