result in fetal: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>polycythemia
After inserting an orogastric tube in a newborn, you should: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>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: - <CORRECT ANSWER
>>begin chest compressions if the heart rate remains below 60 beats/min after 30 seconds of
effective positive-pressure ventilation.
A newborn is at greatest risk for meconium aspiration if they: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>are born
at more than 42 weeks' gestation.
A subtle seizure in the newborn is characterized by: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>eye deviations.
Caput succedaneum is defined as: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>temporary swelling of the soft tissue
of the baby's scalp secondary to pressure from the dilating cervix.
Causes of delayed fetal transition include: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>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? - <CORRECT ANSWER
>>60 beats/min
Choanal atresia is defined as a: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>bony or membranous obstruction of the
back of the nose.
, Compared to subsequent breaths, the first few positive-pressure breaths delivered to a

valve.
During the delivery of a post-term baby, you note the presence of particulate meconium in the

cry, and has a heart rate of 110 beats/min. You should: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>ensure that the
infant is warm and dry, administer free-flow oxygen if needed, and provide continuous
monitoring.
If a newborn does not respond to the initial steps of resuscitation, the need for further
intervention is based upon: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>respiratory effort, pulse rate, and color.
If a newborn requires epinephrine and peripheral venous access is unsuccessful, you should: -
<CORRECT ANSWER >>cannulate the umbilical vein.
If hypovolemia is suspected or confirmed, you should administer how many milliliters of normal
saline to a 6-pound newborn over a period of 5 to 10 minutes? - <CORRECT ANSWER >>27mL
If you feel 13 pulsations in a 6-second time frame, the newborn's heart rate is approximately: -
<CORRECT ANSWER >>130bpm
In addition to an IV dextrose bolus, the most important treatment for newborn hypoglycemia
is: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>proper thermal management.
Mortality and morbidity are high among infants who are delivered at 24 weeks' gestation,
usually because of: - <CORRECT ANSWER >>respiratory and neurologic problems.
Most newborns with hypoglycemia remain asymptomatic until the glucose level falls below
how many milligrams per deciliter for a significant period of time? - <CORRECT ANSWER >>20
mg/dL
