A delay in clamping the umbilical cord and keeping the baby below the level of the placenta can result in fetal:
Select one:

B. hypovolemia.
C. anemia.
D. polycythemia.
D. polycythemia.

A newborn is at greatest risk for meconium aspiration if they:
Select one:
A. are born at more than 42 weeks' gestation.
B. require positive-pressure ventilations.
C. have respiratory depression at the time of birth.
D. are large for their gestational age.
A. are born at more than 42 weeks' gestation.
A subtle seizure in the newborn is characterized by:
Select one:
A. eye deviations.
B. repetitive jerking.
C. flexion of the arms.
D. tonic limb extension.
,A. eye deviations.
After inserting an orogastric tube in a newborn, you should:
Select one:
A. perform intubation within 2 minutes.
B. leave the 20-mL syringe attached.
C. leave the tube open to allow air to vent.
D. connect the tube to continuous suction.
C. leave the tube open to allow air to vent.
After performing the initial steps of resuscitation, you assess a newborn and note that their respirations are poor and their
pulse rate is 50 beats/min. You should:
Select one:
A. immediately begin positive-pressure ventilations and chest compressions and then reassess the newborn's pulse rate
in 30 seconds.
B. begin chost compressions if the heart rate remains below 60 beats/min after 30 seconds of effective positivo-pressure
ventilation.
C. begin chest compressions, insert an endotracheal tube, and administer 0.1 to 0.3 mU/kg of epinephrine 1:10,000 down
the endotracheal tube.
D. perform tactile stimulation for 30 seconds, reassess the infant's respirations and pulse rate, and begin
positive-pressure ventilations if there is no improvement.
B. begin chost compressions if the heart rate remains below 60 beats/min after 30 seconds of effective positivo-pressure
ventilation.
Caput succedaneum is defined as:
Select one:
, A. an area of bleeding between the parietal bone and its covering periosteum that resolves in 1 to 2 months.
B. temporary swelling of the soft tissue of the baby's scalp secondary to pressure from the dilating cervix.
C. permanent cranial disfigurement caused by vaginal delivery in a woman with cephalopelvic disproportion.
D. bilateral temporal bone fractures caused by a delivery that included the use of forceps.
B. temporary swelling of the soft tissue of the baby's scalp secondary to pressure from the dilating cervix.
Causes of delayed fetal transition include:
Select one:
A. acidosis.
B. hypertension.
C. prenatal vitamins.
D. birth at 41 weeks.
A. acidosis.
Chest compressions are indicated in the newborn if the heart rate remains less than how many beats/min despite effective
positive-pressure ventilations for 30 seconds?
Select one:
A. 60 beats/min
B. 70 beats/min
C. 90 beats/min
D. 80 beats/min
A. 60 beats/min
Choanal atresia is defined as a:
Select one:
A. bony or membranous obstruction of the back of the nose.
A delay in clamping the umbilical cord and keeping the baby below the level of the placenta can result in fetal:
Select one:
A. exsanguination.
B. hypovolemia.
C. anemia.
D. polycythemia.
