Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who has signs of neonatal abstinence syndrome. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A) may be important but not the priority. Placing the infant on his back with legs extended (

D) can worsen symptoms.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is a potential complication of a nuchal cord?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Fetal distress. A nuchal cord occurs when the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck. This can potentially lead to decreased blood flow and oxygen supply to the baby, resulting in fetal distress. Maternal hemorrhage and amniotic fluid embolism are not direct complications of a nuchal cord.
Therefore, the correct answer is A as it directly relates to the potential consequence of a nuchal cord.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is hypotensive following the administration of epidural anesthesia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

B: Applying oxygen won't directly address hypotension caused by epidural anesthesia.
C: Massaging the fundus is not relevant for treating hypotension related to epidural anesthesia.
D: Assisting the client to empty the bladder may be needed, but it won't directly address hypotension.
