QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 2026/2027
Normal RR for pediatrics child - ANS ✔✔RR: 30-60 per min
Nursing considerations when feeding a child with tachypnea - ANS ✔✔Normal RR: 30-60 per
min
Considerations:
-Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a term for a mild respiratory problem of babies
that begins after birth and lasts about three days.
-Other terms for TTN are "wet lungs" or type II respiratory distress syndrome.
--Transient means temporary
--Tachypnea means fast breathing rate
Transient tachypnea of the newborn treatment - ANS ✔✔Treatment may include:
-Supplemental oxygen given by mask on the baby's face or by placing the baby under an oxygen
hood
-Blood tests (to measure blood oxygen levels)
-Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) - a mechanical breathing machine that pushes a
continuous flow of air or oxygen to the airways to help keep tiny air passages in the lungs open.
---Tube feedings may also be necessary if the baby's breathing rate is too high, because of the
risk of aspiration of the food.
---Once TTN goes away, the baby usually recovers quickly and has no increased risk for
additional respiratory problems.
Transitory tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is thought to occur as a result of: - ANS ✔✔.
Delayed absorption of fetal lung fluid.
, A nurse is caring for a newborn with transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN). Which of the
following responses made by the newborn's mother demonstrates that she understands the
newborn's condition? Select all that apply. - ANS ✔✔"Having a caesarean section increased the
risk of transient tachypnea of the newborn."
-Due to the extra squeezing's during the C-section, the babies are most at risk for TTN
"The healthcare provider will need chest X-rays to monitor respiratory distress."
-Amniotic fluids are trapped in the lungs causing TTN
-Delayed absorption of fetal lung fluid into the body
Benefits of breast milk - ANS ✔✔-species specific for human newborns/infants
-protects against infection (antibodies passed over from the mother)
-easily digested
-skin to skin
-bonding
Colostrum - ANS ✔✔thin, milky fluid secreted by the breast during pregnancy and during the
first days after birth before lactation begins
A 37 week gravid client states that she noticed a "white liquid" leaking from her breast during a
recent shower. Which of the following nursing responses is appropriate at this time? - ANS
✔✔Reassure the mother that this is normal in the 3rd semester
-It is normal for colostrum to be expressed late in pregnancy
According to the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics on infant nutrition: -
ANS ✔✔Infants should be given only human milk for the first 6 months of life.
Meningitis - ANS ✔✔Inflammation of brain and spinal cord membranes, typically caused by an
infection.
Meningitis is usually caused by a viral infection but can also be bacterial or fungal.
