ANSWER:-C
Good handwashing technique is the most important factor in protecting the newborn from in
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
fection. You can help prevent infection by instructing parents and visitors to wash their hand
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra

,3. A nursing attendant is working in the delivery room. Which action is priority immediately after
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar
birth?
a. Maintaining an open airway ra ra ra
b. Determining true gestational age ra ra ra
c. Monitoring infant-parent interactions ra ra
d. Promoting parent-newborn physical contact ra ra ra
ACCURATE ANSWER:-A ra
Opening the airway is the priority. The most extreme physiological change occurs when the
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
newborn leaves the utero circulation and develops independent respiratory functioning. Direct
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar
nursing care includes maintaining an open airway, stabilizing and maintaining body tempera
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
ture, and protecting the newborn from infection. After immediate physical evaluation and app
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar ra
lication of identification bracelets, the nursing attendant promotes the parents’ and newborn
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
’s need for close physical contact. Following a comprehensive physical assessment, the nursin

ar ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
b. A lack of reflexes ra ra ra
c. Cyanotic hands and feet ra ra ra
d. A soft, protuberant abdomen
ra ra ra
ACCURATE ANSWER:-B ra
A lack of reflexes must be addressed quickly. Assessment of these reflexes is vital because the ne
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar
wborn depends largely on reflexes for survival and in response to its environment. Molding,or
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
o ra
verlapping of the soft skull bones, allows the fetal head to adjust to various diameters of the m
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
aternal pelvis and is a common occurrence with vaginal births. Normal physical characteristic

s include the continued presence of lanugo on the skin of the back; cyanosis of the hands and f

a. Cyanosis of both the feet and hands ra ra ra ra ra ra

ACCURATE ANSWER:-C ra
Movements in the newborn are generally sporadic, but they are symmetric and involve all four ex
ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ar
tremities. Cyanosis of the hands and feet is normal for the first 24 hours, not 48 hours. The dia

Sexual maturation in adolescence occurs with the development of primary and secondary sex

ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra
