A newborn is lying in his crib in the hospital nursery. The nurse picks up the newborn to prepare for a feeding and notes frothy oral secretions around the newborn's mouth. The nurse should:
 
  1. Wipe the newborn's mouth and give the feeding.
   2. Clean the newborn's mouth and notify the doctor of the findings.
   3. Feed the newborn.
   4. Take the baby to the mother to feed.

Answer to Question 1

Feedback
1. The wiping the mouth for an assessment is needed, but the newborn should not be fed because the secretions are an indication of lack of secretion drainage.
2. These actions should occur because the child is at risk for tracheal esophageal atresia.
3. The newborn should not be fed because the secretions are an indication of lack of secretion drainage and increases the chance for aspiration.
4. The newborn should not be fed because the secretions are an indication of lack of secretion drainage and increase the chance for aspiration.

Answer to Question 2

D
A good diet includes foods from all of the food groups. Protein supplements should be avoided. Sodium and potassium should be replaced by a well-balanced diet. Caffeine and alcohol should be avoided because they increase dehydration (minors should not be consuming alcohol for legal reasons, as well). Carbohydrates should not be used as the sole energy source.
