What is the major contributing factor for the development of BPD?
 
  1. Immature lungs have a decreased number of alveoli for gas exchange
   2. Premature birth with decreased number of functional alveoli, leading to lung injury
   3. Chronic respiratory infections, leading to pulmonary hypertension and lung scarring
   4. Ventilator assistance with high oxygen flow rate at birth, causing inflammation and scarring in lungs

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

4
Feedback
1. BPD occurs because of the increased resistance and amount of damaged alveoli, decreasing the amount of oxygen exchange.
2. Scarring occurs on the alveoli that are present. The preemie baby has the same amount of alveoli, but less surface area to ventilate.
3. Neonates do not commonly have respiratory infections to cause an increased risk for BPD.
4. Ventilator assistance with high oxygen flow rate at birth, causing inflammation and scarring in lungs

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse should notify the chaplain in the absence of a priest or pastor.
