An infant with heart failure
Question 1 of 5
A pediatrician has prescribed oxygen as needed for an infant with heart failure. Which situation would likely increase the oxygen demand, requiring the nurse to administer oxygen to the infant?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: When drawing blood for electrolyte level testing. Drawing blood can be a stressful procedure for infants, leading to increased oxygen demand due to increased metabolic activity and potential distress. Administering oxygen during this time can help ensure the infant's oxygen needs are met.
A: When a parent is holding the infant - This situation is unlikely to significantly increase oxygen demand unless the parent is exerting excessive pressure on the infant's chest.
B: During sleep - Oxygen demand typically decreases during sleep as the infant's metabolic rate decreases.
C: When changing the infant's diapers - Diaper changing is a routine activity that is unlikely to significantly impact oxygen demand.
In summary, the correct answer involves a medical procedure that can cause stress and increased metabolic demand, leading to a higher need for oxygen, while the other options are less likely to have a significant impact on oxygen demand.
