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 - ANS>>: 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.
A newborn infant is diagnosed with a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
The nurse is aware that this is indicative of a defect that:
A. typically results in cyanosis
B. may result in congestive heart failure
C. also causes pulmonary stenosis
D. normally does not close after birth - ANS>>: B
Rationale::
Defects that result in increased pulmonary blood flow such as patent
ductus arteriosus (PDA) and other atrial and ventricular septal defects
may cause congestive heart failure. PDA is a vascular connection that
during fetal life bypasses the pulmonary vascular bed and directs
blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta. Defects that involve
decreased pulmonary blood (such as tetralogy of Fallot) or obstruction
to blood flow out of the heart (such as pulmonary stenosis) typically
result in cyanosis. PDA does not cause pulmonary stenosis. A PDA
normally closes soon after birth. If the ductus does remain open after
birth, the direction of blood flow in the ductus is reversed by the
higher pressure in the aorta, so there may not be any signs of the
disorder.
Which of the following signs would alert a nurse to withdrawal in the
infant of a mother addicted to heroin?
A. lethargy and a lack of appetite
B. restlessness, irritability, and tremors
C. no crying and hypoactive reflexes
D. hyperactive reflexes and diaphoresis - ANS>>: B
Rationale::
Heroin does cross the placental barrier; therefore the infant is born
addicted to heroin and will display signs of withdrawal such as
