CARE ACTUAL EXAM PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Surfactant. Answer: Lines alveoli and reduces surface tension to
keep alveoli open.
◉ Initiation of Respirations. Answer: Stimulated by factors such as
chemical (chemoreceptors), mechanical (vaginal birth), thermal
(temperature change), and sensory (tactile stimulation).
◉ Thermoregulation. Answer: Newborn characteristics leading to
heat loss include skin with little subcutaneous fat, blood vessels
close to the surface, and large skin surface.
◉ Methods of heat loss. Answer: Include evaporation, conduction,
convection, and radiation.
◉ Thermogenesis. Answer: Methods of heat production include
restlessness, crying, flexion, increased activity, metabolism rise,
vasoconstriction, and nonshivering thermogenesis (brown fat).
, ◉ Hazards of Cold Stress. Answer: Include increased oxygen need,
decreased surfactant production, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia,
metabolic acidosis, and jaundice.
◉ Hematologic Adaptation. Answer: Includes erythrocytes,
hemoglobin (Hgb), and hematocrit (HCT) being higher in newborns
due to less oxygen available in fetal life.
◉ Leukocytes. Answer: Elevated white blood count in newborns.
◉ Clotting in newborns. Answer: Newborns are given vitamin K to
activate clotting factors.
◉ Gastrointestinal System. Answer: Includes stomach, intestines,
and digestive enzymes (6 mL).
◉ Stools of breastfed infants. Answer: Frequent, seedy, and mustard-
colored.
◉ Hepatic System Functions. Answer: Maintenance of blood glucose
levels, conjugation of bilirubin, production of coagulation factors,
storage of iron, and metabolism of drugs.
