HESI OB MATERNITY QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Version 1 (V1) ACTUAL EXAM LATEST UPDATE 2024
1. Prior to discharging a 24-hour-old newborn, the nurse assesses the newborn's respiratory status. What would the nurse expect to assess? A. respiratory rate 45 breaths/minute, irregular B. costal breathing pattern C. nasal flaring, rate 65 breaths/minute D. crackles on auscultation Answer: A Rationale: Typically, respirations in a 24-hour-old newborn are symmetric, slightly irregular, shallow, and unlabored at a rate of 30 to 60 breaths/minute. The breathing pattern is primarily diaphragmatic. Nasal flaring, rates above 60 breaths per minute, and crackles suggest a problem.
