Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4
Explanation: 2. The nurse would apply oxygen via face mask.
3. The nurse would call for anesthesia provider for support.
4. The nurse would increase intravenous fluids by at least 500 mL bolus.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: This answer is too vague. Parents need to know specifics, but described in lay terms.
Rationale 2: Polycythemia is a hematocrit above 65 and has the potential for serious sequelae, including stroke and respiratory distress. This infant requires a partial exchange transfusion to treat the polycythemia.
Rationale 3: This infant is not anemic but polycythemic. A partial exchange transfusion using crystalloids is the treatment.
Rationale 4: Increasing fluid intake will not improve the polycythemia. A partial exchange transfusion using crystalloids is the treatment.
