Chapter 24: Newborn Nutrition and Feeding MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. A new mother recalls from prenatal class that she should try to feed her newborn daughter when she exhibits feeding readiness cues rather than waiting until her infant is crying frantically. On the basis of this information, this woman should feed her infant about every 2.5 to 3 hours when she: a.Waves her arms in the air.c.Has hiccups. b.Makes sucking motions.d.Stretches her legs out straight. ANS: B Sucking motions, rooting, mouthing, and hand-to-mouth motions are examples of feeding-readiness cues. Waving the arms in the air, hiccupping, and stretching the legs out straight are not typical feeding-readiness cues. Chapter 25: The High Risk Newborn MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. A macrosomic infant is born after a difficult forceps-assisted delivery. After stabilization the infant is weighed, and the birth weight is 4550 g (9 pounds, 6 ounces). The nurse’s most appropriate action is to: a.Leave the infant in the room with the mother. b.Take the infant immediately to the nursery. c.Perform a gestational age assessment to determine whether the infant is large for gestational age. d.Monitor blood glucose levels frequently and observe closely for signs of hypoglycemia. ANS: D This infant is macrosomic (more than 4000 g) and is at high risk for hypoglycemia. Blood glucose levels should be monitored frequently, and the infant should be observed closely for signs of hypoglycemia. Observation may occur in the nursery or in the mother’s room, depending on the condition of the fetus. Regardless of gestational age, this infant is macrosomic.
