SIMULATION: Real Life 2.0 RN, Maternal New Born. Thermoregulation and care of the newborn I Scored 100% with this 1) Nurse Jackie is preparing for Ms. Bottelli's delivery. Question Nurse Jackie is preparing the labor room for Ms. Bottelli's delivery. Which of the following equipment should Jackie have available for the delivery? (Select all that apply.) Selected Option Bag and mask respirator Radiant warmer Stethoscope Suction apparatus Rationale Using the ABC priority-setting framework, the nurse should have a bag and mask respirator, suction apparatus, and stethoscope available in the labor room to assess the newborn and maintain airway and breathing. The nurse needs a radiant warmer to promote circulation by providing warmth and preventing cold stress. The nurse does not need phototherapy lights or a bath kit at this time. 2) Scenario Nurse Jackie assesses Ms. Bottelli's newborn. Question Nurse Jackie assesses Ms. Bottelli's newborn. After placing the newborn under the radiant warmer, which of the following actions should Jackie take? Selected Option Dry the newborn. Rationale The nurse should dry and wrap the newborn immediately after birth to prevent cold stress. 3) Scenario Nurse Jackie discusses the purpose of thoroughly drying the newborn with Nurse Sherman. Question Nurse Jackie explains the purpose of thoroughly drying the newborn before placing him under the radiant warmer with Nurse Sherman. Which of the following statements by Jackie is accurate? Selected Option "Evaporation is the loss of heat that occurs when the newborn's skin is wet." Rationale Heat loss by evaporation occurs when moisture from the newborn's skin vaporizes. 4) Scenario Nurse Jackie assesses Ms. Bottelli's newborn to assign an Apgar score. Question Nurse Jackie completes the newborn's initial assessment and Apgar scoring. Based on Jackie's assessment, what is the expected Apgar score? Selected Option 6 Rationale Apgar scoring consists of heart rate, respiratory rate, muscle tone, reflex irritability, and color. The nurse assigns a score of 0 to 2 for each category 1 min and 5 min after birth. The This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :38:07 GMT -05:00 newborn's heart rate was 130/min, which is a score of 2. The respiratory rate was a weak cry that sounded like whimpering with slow and irregular breathing, which is a score of 1. The nurse noted some flexion of the extremities for tone, which is a score of 1. The nurse noted grimacing, which is a score of 1. The newborn had good color in the body with some blue color in the hands and feet, which is a score of 1. The total Apgar score for the newborn totals 6 points. 5) Nurse Jackie notes the newborn's poor respiratory effort and intervenes. Question Nurse Jackie observes the newborn's lack of respiratory effort. Which of the following is the priority nursing action at this time? Selected Option Suction the newborn's mouth using a bulb syringe. Rationale Gentle oropharyngeal suctioning using a bulb syringe is the priority action at this time. 6) Scenario Nurse Sherman and Nurse Jackie are discussing maintaining thermoregulation of the newborn. Question Nurse Sherman and Nurse Jackie are discussing maintaining thermoregulation of the newborn. Which of the following actions should Jackie take to promote thermoregulation? Selected Option Place the newborn directly on the mother's chest. Rationale Skin-to-skin contact and covering the newborn with a warm blanket helps stabilize the newborn's temperature and reduce cold stress. 7) Scenario Nurse Jackie reviews techniques to promote effective breastfeeding and prevent engorgement. Question Nurse Jackie and Ms. Bottelli discuss techniques to promote effective breastfeeding and prevent engorgement. Which of the following should Jackie include in the discussion? Selected Option Breastfeed the newborn approximately 8 to 12 times a day. Rationale Breastfeeding 8 to 12 times a day promotes regular emptying of the breast and prevents engorgement.
