Extract:
The nurse is caring for a newborn with a diagnosis of tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF).
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following assessment findings may be present in a newborn with TEF? (Select All that Apply.)
Correct Answer: C,D,E
Rationale: The correct assessment findings for a newborn with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) are excessive drooling (
C), respiratory distress (
D), and coughing or choking during feeding (E). Excessive drooling is due to the inability to swallow saliva, respiratory distress occurs due to aspiration into the lungs, and coughing or choking during feeding can result from the abnormal connection between the trachea and esophagus. Sunken abdomen (
B) is not typically associated with TEF, and normal feeding and swallowing (
A) would not be expected due to the anatomical defect.
