After immediate physical evaluation and application of identification bracelets, the nursing at

tendant promotes the parents’ and newborn’s need for close physical contact. Early parent child i

ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra

ra ra ra ar ra ra ra ra ra ar ar ra ra




ACCURATE ar



ANSWER:-C
Good handwashing technique is the most important factor in protecting the newborn from in
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



fection. You can help prevent infection by instructing parents and visitors to wash their hand
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



s before touching the infant. The nursing attendant can help parents identify ways to meet nee
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar



ds by counseling them to feed their baby on demand rather than on a rigid schedule.

Newborns are susceptible to heat loss and cold stress. Place the healthy newborn directly on th

e mother’s abdomen, covering with warm blankets. Removal of nasopharyngeal and orophary

,3. A nursing attendant is working in the delivery room. Which action is priority immediately after
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar



birth?
a. Maintaining an open airway ra ra ra




b. Determining true gestational age ra ra ra




c. Monitoring infant-parent interactions ra ra




d. Promoting parent-newborn physical contact ra ra ra




ACCURATE ANSWER:-A ra



Opening the airway is the priority. The most extreme physiological change occurs when the
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



newborn leaves the utero circulation and develops independent respiratory functioning. Direct
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar



nursing care includes maintaining an open airway, stabilizing and maintaining body tempera
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



ture, and protecting the newborn from infection. After immediate physical evaluation and app
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar ra



lication of identification bracelets, the nursing attendant promotes the parents’ and newborn
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



’s need for close physical contact. Following a comprehensive physical assessment, the nursin
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



g attendant assesses gestational age and interactions between infant and parents.

4. A nursing attendant is preforming a newborn assessment. Which assessment finding wil
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



l cause the nursing attendant to intervene immediately? a. Head molding
ar ra ra ra ra ra ra ra




b. A lack of reflexes ra ra ra




c. Cyanotic hands and feet ra ra ra




d. A soft, protuberant abdomen
ra ra ra




ACCURATE ANSWER:-B ra



A lack of reflexes must be addressed quickly. Assessment of these reflexes is vital because the ne
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar



wborn depends largely on reflexes for survival and in response to its environment. Molding,or
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra

s include the continued presence of lanugo on the skin of the back; cyanosis of the hands and f

a. Cyanosis of both the feet and hands ra ra ra ra ra ra




b. Triangle-shaped anterior fontanel ra ra




c. Sporadic motor movements ra ra




d. Weight of 4800 g ra ra ra




ACCURATE ANSWER:-C ra



Movements in the newborn are generally sporadic, but they are symmetric and involve all four ex
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar



tremities. Cyanosis of the hands and feet is normal for the first 24 hours, not 48 hours. The dia

ACCURATE ANSWER:-C ra



Stating that development proceeds at a slower rate during embryonic stage indicates the nursin
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



g attendant needs to follow up to correct the misconception. From the moment of conception un

ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra




ACCURATE ANSWER:-B ra



Sexual maturation in adolescence occurs with the development of primary and secondary sex
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



ual characteristics. Physical growth usually slows during the schoolaged period, and then a grow
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



th spurt occurs during adolescence. Girls usually exceed boys in
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra



height and weight by the end of the school years. As height and weight increase during adolesc
