Extract:

A newborn suspected to have esophageal atresia.


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a newborn suspected to have esophageal atresia. Which of the following interventions must be the FIRST priority?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Elevate the head of the bed 30 to 35 degrees. This intervention is the first priority because elevating the head of the bed helps prevent aspiration and reduces the risk of choking and respiratory distress in newborns with esophageal atresia. Placing the child in low flow oxygen (
A) or in an isolette or radiant warmer (
B) may be necessary but not the first priority. Obtaining a stat chest X-ray (
C) can provide diagnostic information but does not address the immediate risk of aspiration.
