Extract:
A nurse is caring for a 2-day-old newborn who was born at 35 weeks of gestation. Decreased activity level over the last 12 hr. Abdominal distention. Three bloody stools over the last 4 hr. Superficial rash on the abdominal wall. Light palpation of the abdomen leads to fist clenching, thrashing, and crying.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Inserting an orogastric tube decompresses the gastrointestinal tract, addressing abdominal distention and bloody stools, which suggest a serious condition like necrotizing enterocolitis. Measuring circumference, iron formula, or nitric oxide do not address the acute issue.
