A nurse is assessing a premature infant. What would initially alert the nurse that the infant is having respiratory distress? A. Flaring nostrils B. Sporadic crying C. Ineffective cough D. Decreased pulse rate Answer: A Rationale: In attempt to increase intake of oxygen, the respiratory rate increases with flaring of nostrils as a cardinal sign. It is significant to note that when a neonate is in respiratory distress, the rate of respirations will increase. Sporadic crying, ineffective cough, and decreased pulse rate may be indicative of infant distress but are not classic signs of respiratory distress.
