A neonate has been diagnosed with respiratory distress syndrome. The nurse notes the neonate is retracting and is hypoxic. The best intervention at this time would be:
 
  1. Providing oxygen support via a mask.
   2. Providing oxygen support via nasal cannula.
   3. Attempt to reposition the neonate.
   4. Check the temperature of the neonate so that the child does not experience cold stress.

Question 2

The nurse would include in a teaching plan about mouth care for a child receiving chemotherapy to:
 
  a. Use a commercial mouthwash
  b. Clean the teeth with a soft toothbrush
  c. Avoid the use of a Waterpik
  d. Inspect the mouth weekly for ulcerations

Answer to Question 1

1
Feedback
1. Oxygen delivered by mask is the highest percentage of oxygen to be delivered other than intubation.
2. The neonate does not receive as high of a rate of oxygen saturation with a nasal cannula.
3. Repositioning may open the airway more, but the retracting occurs because of deterioration, thus requiring oxygen support.
4. Cold stress can cause respiratory issues, but is short term once the neonate is warm.

Answer to Question 2

B
A soft toothbrush reduces capillary damage and mucous membrane breakdown, and prevents bleeding and infection. Commercial mouthwashes may kill oral flora that combat infection. Waterpiks are useful for toughening gums.
