Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The baby's 5-minute Apgar score is 8 (motion, 2; pulse, 2; grimace, 2; appearance, 1; respirations, 1). If a 5-minute Apgar score is less than 9, the nurse should stabilize the infant instead of leaving the baby with the parents in the birthing unit. Because it appears that this baby's problems are related to either oxygenation or perfusion, the nurse should assess the oximetry reading and administer oxygen if needed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Radiant heater units warm only the outer surface of objects in them, so it is counterproductive to dress the baby or cover the baby with blankets. The other actions are appropriate.
